The Cardinals start out slow in 15-5 win over the Pirates

The Red Birds came out flat on this stormy Tuesday evening and were trailing the Pirates 5-3 after 3 but then erupted for 12 runs over the final 2 innings.

Also having a great game at the plate was 10 year old Jay Talley with a double and 2 singles and he also had 2 RBIs. Rashaan Haines added 2 singles, 2 runs and 2 RBIs and threw 3 runners out at the plate. Haden Dehaven had a triple and got the win on the mound pitching 2 2/3 innings striking out 4 and only allowing 1 hit. Noah Buzzard smacked a double to right center and came in to pitch early in the game and pitched 2 innings giving up 1 hit. Sebastian Stewart added a single and scored 2 runs. Jaden Jessie walked twice and scored 2 runs. Damian Sudac reached base 2 times and scored both times. Jaden Lechliter also walked and scored a run.
