Little League Highlights - Cards Win 8-2

Gabe and his Cardinals had a really good game last night. Facing the first place Yankees, the Cardinals used great defense and solid hitting to win 8-2. Gabe pitched a complete game, using only 53 pitches out the 85 he was allowed to throw last night to shut down the strong Yankees team.

On offense he also did well, hitting 2 for 3 with a double and a triple. This was a nice reward as Gabe has been trying to incorporate his hips more into his swing to get more power. He still does it better in practice than in game situations, but he's getting there.

The Cardinals are the only team in Safety Harbor so far to beat the top-ranked Yankees.

The Cardinals started out the year strong, going 4-1, but in-field errors dropped their record to 4-5. After two straight wins, however, they've moved up in second place behind the Yankees and now sit at 6-5 with an important game today against the third place Dodgers.

Go Cards!
