Cards give it their best against league leader Nixa
Webb City had league-leading Nixa down 9-6 at the end of four innings at home Wednesday but couldn’t keep that lead.
The 24-1 Eagles scored 2 in the fifth and 3 in the sixth while keeping the home team scoreless to win 11-9.
Webb City coach Flave Darnell told KNEO after the game that although they lost, the game proved his players can play with the best. Nixa is 6-0 in the Central Ozark Conference.
Kolton Eilenstein went 2 for 4 and had 3 RBIs for the Cardinals. William Hayes got 2 RBIs off a double.
Kaylor Darnell pitched 3 1/3 innings before being relieved by Walker Sweet. Gage Chapman held the Eagles scoreless in the final 2 innings.
It was a vastly different game than the day before at Barnes Field when the Cardinals run-ruled the Carl Junction Bulldogs 17-2.
The 11-13 Cardinals will play a double-header Saturday here against Marshfield.
