Cardinals Zip Past Braves, 6-2
The St. Louis (GCL) Cardinals faced a tough opponent in Atlanta (GCL) pitcher Doug Mertz, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Roger Dean Stadium by a final score of 6-2. Mertz went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. The Cardinals have an impressive 55-20 record.

The Cardinals beat the Braves in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Matt Miller produced in the bottom of the seventh. Batting against Antonio Flores, Miller gave his team the lead, 3-2, when he hit a run-scoring single.

Miller attributed the win to his team's "dogged determination."
