| Late Rally by Cardinals Secures Win | Pablo Beltran had a good game, but he could not keep the Normal Nutcrackers from falling, 6-4, to the Montreal Cardinals at Denis Coderre Stadium. The Normal right fielder was 2-2 with 2 home runs and 2 walks in the loss. Tyler Eichelberger got the win, improving to 4-1. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 2. The save was credited to Victor Amezcua, his 3rd.
Had Jorge Flores not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Flores hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Cardinals.
Flores told a Montreal Daily News reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
The Cardinals have an impressive 20-4 record.
