The Cardinals moved to 8-0 Friday night following their victories over conference rival White Cloud in baseball action.

Big Rapids won the opening tilt 9-0, including six runs coming in the fourth inning alone. Mason McNeilly, Ty Gielczyk, and Nick Teceno each had two hits. Teceno paced the Cardinals with 3 RBI's while Izaac Zocco scored twice. Gielcyzk went five innings on the mound, only allowing two hits and striking out 11.

"The boys battled early on," Head coach J.T. Scarpelli said. "Ruether threw well but we stayed on him and broke through the second time around. There’s work to improve upon, but it’s small things now."

Game two was finished following five innings, with Big Rapids storming out to a commanding 12-0 lead after the first three. White Cloud would fight back with a few runs but would fall short by a score of 16-3. All but four Cardinal batters had multiple hits in the contest, including Brody Ososki pacing Big Rapids with four knocks, two RBI's, and two runs scored. Cole Haist threw three shut out innings for Big Rapids to get the win, with Corbin Clark and Cole Kiebala each registering an inning in relief.

According to Coach Scarpelli, the offense executed their approach and pitchers attacked hitters effectively.

"We’re looking forward to Chip Hills next week. They have some players and they always battle."

Big Rapids will face the Warriors next Tuesday at home. Game times are slated for 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M.
