Pair of Cards prospects shoulder load in AFL win

PEORIA, Ariz. -- A pair of Cardinals prospects boosted the Glendale Desert Dogs to a 5-1 victory over the Peoria Javelinas at the Peoria Sports Complex on Friday afternoon.

Austin Gomber, the Cards' No. 19 prospect, pitched 5 2/3 innings -- the longest outing by a starting pitcher in the Fall League this year -- striking out five and scattering five hits. He walked four.

Carson Kelly, the Cardinals' No. 11 prospect, fueled the offense with his bat and some heads-up baserunning.

Gomber used his changeup to shut down the Javelina bats.
