Whew! Cards grind out a must win tonight, 3-2. I decided not to post during the game because I thought I was bad luck. Cards got off to a great start in the first by virtue of Gardner's 2 run HR. Kidston who started went 7 innings, gave up 5 hits and 2 runs. Kidston started off shaky by hitting the 1st two batters followed by a wild pitch and a RBI fly ball. Cards would tack on another run in the 5th with a RBI single by Whiting. Kidston would give up 1 run in the 6th and that would be the end of the scoring. Kidston threw 110 pitches and was relieved by Philley who pitched a scoreless 8th. That would set up Burdi to close out the 9th. Burdi retired the 1st batter by flyout followed by a strikeout. It would then get very interesting. Burdi would then give up back to back singles putting runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. The next guy hits a ground ball to 3rd and Chittenden makes a throwing error but runners do not score and loads up the bases. Burdi then strikes out the final batter for the win. If you followed last night's game, Burdi had 3 wild pitches that allowed the Knights to win. Cards now need to take care of business the rest of the way out. They still have USF left who are a couple games behind the Cards for 3rd place.
