Cardinals expected to be seeded first in districts



The 25-4 Webb City Cardinals are expected to be seeded first in the Class 5 District 6 tournament, but that won’t be a sure thing until Thursday morning. Click here for the bracket when it’s posted.

The tournament will be held next week at Willard.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals have one more regular-season game, which will be at home Thursday against Seneca.

On Tuesday, the Cardinals went to Joplin for a 1-0 win that gave them a perfect 6-0 record in the Central Ozark Conference West Division.

Mason Young worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and then held the Eagles in check, scattering five hits in the complete game shutout.

Braden Strickland’s double in the fourth inning was the RBI that won the game. Read more of Tim Workman’s account of the game here.

Last Thursday, the Cardinals got a 10-0 home win over Neosho. Then they went to Monett Monday for a 13-3 win. Their winning streak now stands at 13.
