The Cardinals suffered their first loss of the season in a game best described as odd.   

John Hersey came out swinging and put up four runs in the top of the first.  A lead off single, walk and double put the Huskies on the board.  After getting the first out on an infield pop-up, John Hersey got two more hits before the inning ended with them sporting a 4-0 lead.

Sending another 8 hitters to the plate in the second inning, the Huskies recorded three hits and took advantage of a walk and an error but left the bases loaded as the inning ended with only two more runs being scored.

However, one of the more unique innings found the Cardinals scoring six runs in the bottom of the third without recording a hit.  After striking out the last five hitters he had faced, the Husky pitcher issued seven walks in the third.  Walking the first three batters to load the bases, the Huskies had a chance to get out of the inning unscathed, but an error by the second baseman surrounding a line out and strikeout allowed the Cardinals to score a run and left the bases loaded with two outs.  Another four consecutive free passes were issued and another error from the Husky defense and the Cardinals had tied the game at 6-6.

A chance for Webb City to take the lead in the fourth was turned away with an outstanding running catch in centerfield as the Cardinals stranded two.

A hit batter and an infield throwing error put runners on the second and third for the Huskies in the fifth with two outs with a wild pitch then allowing the Huskies to score the final run.

The Cardinals finished with only two hits on the day, a single from Sam Weller and a double from Shadrach Salazar.  Two defensive plays from the Huskies added to the oddity of the game.  A 4-6-3 ground out in the first of a ball hit up the middle and a 4-6 ground out in the sixth from a high pop up behind first base that fell to the ground, but the runner had to wait on the catch and was unable to make it to second after it fell to the ground.

The Huskies did most of their damage against starting pitcher  Drew Vonder Haar, garnering seven hits and scoring six times.  Landen Piette was saddled with the loss even though he worked three hitless innings.
