Cardinals Capture Close Win
Not everyone stuck through the 28-minute rain delay, but those who did went home happy.

In a low-scoring affair between the Johnson City Cardinals and the Bluefield Blue Jays, pitcher Nate Dickel was the difference between victory and defeat. The Johnson City left-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-2 Cardinals win. The win belonged to Dennis Woodruff in relief. His record improves to 1-2. Victor Chavez took the loss for Bluefield.

Efrain Castro was the walk-off hero for Johnson City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cardinals left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Castro said.

With the win, Johnson City has a record of 10-9. Bluefield falls to 8-11.
