Salernos knock Cards from ranks of unbeaten
Mike Sciacca
The Salernos picked up their third win of the season and in the
process knocked the San Clemente Cardinals from the ranks of the unbeaten
as they claimed a 3-2 victory in juniors action.
A consistent Salernos hitting attack saw Trevor Pierce and Stephen
Chapman each go three for four, Donny Sand, Nathan Pickett and Ryan
McCarter each had two hits and Patrick Curran also singled.
McCarter also came up with a clutch defensive play at a critical point
in the game when he made a catch in the outfield, then threw to second
base to double up a runner and end a San Clemente scoring threat.
Pierce also came up with a defensive gem later in the game as his
over-the-shoulder catch on the grass behind second base denied the
Cardinals another rally.
