"We knew we would be in for a tough series and that's what we got," said center fielder Steve Bruno of the Tigers, who was named the series MVP. "The Cardinals knew how to battle and gave us a good test."
The next test for Detroit (GCL) will come in the Round 2, after winning this series 3-1.
The Detroit (GCL) Tigers don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Toronto (GCL) Blue Jays - Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays series. That series is tied at 2 games apiece. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
