Cardinals bounce back with 7-3 win

The Ancaster Cardinals bounced back in a big way yesterday with a 7-3 win over Praries representative Rocky Mountain at the 2010 Canadian Little League Championships.
The hometown Cardinals now have a key game today versus winless Notre Dame de Grace of Quebec.
Ancaster has already clinched a playoff spot, but they will certainly want to beat Quebec to avoid a semi-final match-up against the BC powerhouse who have been blowing out all of their opponents.
Ancaster rode a six-run third inning to bury their Prarie opponents on Wednesday. Riley Gray started things off with a lead-off triple and Caleb Radley connected on his third homer of the tournament to give Ancaster a 2-1 lead. After a walk by Ben Miller and singles by the two Justins, Stephenson and Mignardi, Miller came in to score. Two more singles by Simon Ranger and Riley Gray gave Ancaster a commanding lead in a bat-around inning.
The sky looks a little gray today, but the Cards are poised to potentially clinch third place in the six-team tournament, setting up a semi-final against either the Praries or Ontario.
