Victory for the Cards! 
What a game! The St. Louis Cardinals triumphed over the Cincinnati Reds in a decisive 6-1 victory. Our team showed grit and determination, and the victory was a true team effort, filled with impressive plays and crucial hits. Go Cards! 
Slow Start, But Momentum Builds
The game began quietly with both teams scoreless through the first two innings. After a calm start, Alec Burleson sparked our offense at the bottom of the 3rd, doubling to right and eventually scoring Brendan Donovan with a sacrifice fly. Masyn Winn also doubled, adding more pressure on the Reds as he advanced to third. A big nod to Nolan Gorman for drawing a walk to keep our hopes alive.
Seventh Inning Splendor! 
The 7th inning saw the Cards at their peak performance. The bats came alive! Pedro Pagés started it all by walking, advancing to second on Victor Scott II’s hit by pitch, which led to Masyn Winn driving in the first of the five runs, Pagés crossing home plate. Gorman’s walk packed the bases for us, and after the Reds' defensive blunder, both Donovan and Winn crossed the plate. Our offense was capped by Lars Nootbaar who drove in Gorman with a solid single. It was thrilling to watch our lineup dominate! 
Lockdown Defense and Pitching Dominance
Kudos to our pitching squad for staying solid and composed under pressure, recording timely outs to restrict the Reds. A special shoutout to Maton, King, Romero, and O'Brien for excellent bullpen performance. They tamed a resilient Reds lineup to secure our win!
