Bobcatfan4life Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Cardinals take down WO-S, 6-0 Gabe Pruett The Orange Leader BRIDGE CITY — The Bridge City Cardinals beat two things Friday, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and the rain. The Cardinals defeated the Mustangs 6-0 Friday at Cardinal Field about 10 minutes before the expected rain began to fall Friday evening. Caleb Kellogg helped make it a quick affair by pitching a gem on the mound for Bridge City (20-2-1, 8-0) who clinched the District 21-3A championship with the victory. West Orange-Stark (11-11, 4-4) is still clinging to playoff dreams. The Mustangs are a game behind the Orangefield Bobcats and Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns. Orangefield (17-8, 4-3) was trailing Silsbee, 5-2, in the bottom of the sixth before the game was postponed until Monday. The Longhorns/Hardin-Jefferson game was also postponed on Friday. Kellogg worked six innings against the Mustangs and allowed four hits with 10 strike outs and two walks. Freshman Matt Menard was 2-for-2 at the plate with three RBI and one run. Menard had a two-run double to center in the bottom of the second to make it 2-0 Bridge City. The double scored Dylan Mulhollan and Eric Matthews. Menard picked up another RBI in the bottom of the fourth with a RBI single to left to score Anthony Cessac to make it 3-0. Menard later scored when Joe Robertson laced a RBI double into left to make it 4-0. Kellogg, who reached on a double, scored in the bottom of the fifth on a WO-S error. Robertson scored the Cardinals final run of the night off a wild pitch to make it 6-0. Matt Hicks was 2-for-4 with two doubles. Taylor Bonnin, Clayton Gearhart and Justin Sparrow each had hits for the Mustangs. Gearhart singled twice and was 2-for-2. Cody Hodge worked all six innings for the Mustangs. Hodge gave up 10 hits with three strike outs and two walks. Blake Snyder worked 2/3 innings for the Cardinals and had two strike outs and Daniel Wallace faced the last batter and got a strike out. Bridge City returns to action Tuesday with a home game against Orangefield while WO-S will be at home to face Hardin-Jefferson.
