Cardinals Curb Legends, 5-3
Montreal pitcher Mario Mendoza did his part in helping his team beat the Cooperstown Legends, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Mendoza yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 2, and struck out 11. His record improves to 5-4. Alex Cardona earned the save for Montreal, his 5th of the year.

It could have been a different outcome for Montreal, had it not been for Joe McWilliams, the 21-year old catcher . McWilliams contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Montreal up, 2-0.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Mendoza said. "That's why you play the game."

Cooperstown is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.
