Opening day at Jim Patterson Stadium for the Cardinal Nine was a dominating performance on the offensive side of the ball. The Cards produced 21 runs on 17 hits, 8 of those runs came in the 4th inning. Senior First Basemen Danny Rosenbaum led the way for the Cards with 4 RBIs. Star OF Corey Ray finished the day going 2-4 with a pair of RBIs and scoring 3 runs in the rout of the Cougars. Colby Fitch pitched in a 2 run home-run in the bottom of the 7th, it was the first of his career.
