Cardinals Use Pitching & Power in Win Over Mud Hens

Ryan Noward hurled a complete game 3-hit shutout, striking out 10 batters, as the Cardinals beat the Mud Hens, 6-0 Tuesday night at Hazel Park. It took awhile for the Cardinal bats to shake off the rust after a 9-day haitus as the game was scoreless until the 5th inning. Darrin Clark was 2-2 with a walk and 2 RBI and Adam Barrett launched a 2-run bomb onto Woodward Heights to give Noward all the cushion he would need in his best performance of the season. The Cards tacked on another run in the 7th  when Ed Pevos (who showed up the wrong uniform, but rescued from total embarrassment thanks to Rob Chafin's jersey) singled home Clint Berryman who had tripled. Berryman also drove in the Cardinals' first run. The Cards will next play the Orioles at Capitol Park on Thursday night.

Noward then went on to pitch 4 shutout innings with 7 strikeouts while the Cards offense continued to tack on runs throughout the game.

These two teams will meet again on Friday at Hazel Park to wrap up the regular season with the 35+ playoffs starting next Wednesday.
