Yorkton couldn’t muster a response, going scoreless for seven innings. Colin Kellington managed to grab the team’s only run in the eighth.

The Cardinals fell to the Mavericks 15-1.

The Cardinals started off strong, scoring a run in the first inning. They managed to snag three points in the fourth. Unfortunately, that was the end of their scoring ways, as the Mavericks pulled ahead for a final winning score of 7-4.
