Trace Bright struck out eight in five innings to earn the win. He gave up two runs on five hits. Blake Burkhalter pitched 2 1/3 innings for the save. He struck out five.

Adam Crampton went 3-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI for the Cardinal, who finish 47-18. The Cardinal struck out 16 times in the loss.
