Cardinal wins 10th straight
WEST POINT The Cardinal baseball team took a little while to crank up its red-hot offense in a SEISC South road test at Holy Trinity on Tuesday. A.J. McElderry was able to hold down the Crusaders, striking out 11 batters over five innings, to allow for his Comet teammates to pull away for a 12-3 win, Cardinals 10th consecutive victory.
An hour-plus bus ride made us a little slow at the start, but our pitching came right out and was ready to go, Cardinal head coach Rick Rachford said. I cant complain when you end up scoring 12 runs like we did.
Tanner Thorne led the Comets with a three-hit night, including a double, while also driving in three runs. The Comets pounded out five extra base hits on the night, including three triples with Marcus Giltner and Coty Ridgway each collecting a triple and two RBI apiece.
Ridgway also scored a game-high three runs and struck three batters in relief of McElderry. Cardinal (12-2, 9-2) will look to continue their winning streak and stay in the race for the SEISC South crown Friday night with a home battle against Burlington-Notre Dame.

Tri-County falls short of Montezuma, 5-4
MONTEZUMA Jacob Edmundson cranked a solo homer and Isaac Schmidt added three hits, including a triple. However, the Trojans could not quite take down Montezuma in a South Iowa Cedar League baseball battle on Monday.
Schmidt scored twice as part of the 3-4 night while Edmundson went 2-3 with his first home run this season and only the second for the entire season for Tri-County. Edmundson suffered his first loss on the pitching mound, going just an inning and a third before Colt Brumbaugh came on in relief.
Tri-County falls to 8-6 on the season and back to .500 in the SICL with an overall 6-6 conference mark. The Trojans get a big test on their home diamond in Thornburg on Wednesday night as Tri-County will host North Mahaska, Class 1As ninth-ranked squad.
