LBLL 3-15-11 Cardinals 3, Yankees 3

Tuesday afternoon the Cardinals met up with the Yankees.  It quickly settled into a pitcher’s duel, with Tyler Knight and Tommy Donahue keeping the potent Yankee lineup in check.  Behind them game changing defensive plays by Caleb Chang and Sam Tomlinson kept the Yankees off the score board.  In the second inning, timely base running by Ethan Heffernan on a hit by Shea Kuykendall led to the game’s first run, which the Cardinal’s added to later with 2 more runs on great hitting and base running by Zack Foltz and Cole Thomas.

In the bottom of the 5th, Sal Russo and Michael Matson were introduced as the team’s newest battery mates.  Behind them the Cardinal infield kept the Yankees from getting more runs on the board.  When Tyler fielded a ground ball in the gap at shortstop and tossed it to Tommy covering first, the game ended in a 3-3 tie.
