The Cardinals fought back to tie the game, at 3-all, in the third, with Zack Welch's triple the big hit. Welch finished with a triple and two doubles.

Albright, however, regained the lead with a run in the bottom of the third and added two more in the fourth off losing pitcher Corey Johnston.

Only one of the three runs off Johnston was earned. "Corey threw a lot of strikes," said Doorey.

Joey Painter took over for Johnston and did not allow a hit over the final 2.2 innings.

Welch led the Cardinals with three hits, while Todd Hughes added two hits and a RBI.

"Welch, Hughes and Jarvis are swinging the bats real well for us," Doorey said. "But, we need to get other people involved as well.
