Baseball roundup
HUNTINGTON — The Cardinals finally took flight in the ninth inning Thursday.
Geneva went scoreless through the first eight innings, but posted seven runs in the ninth as it took a 7-5 victory over the Huntington Foresters.
With his team trailing 4-0, captain Alex Childers led off the final frame by getting hit by a pitch. Danner Partridge was also hit by a pitch, and after a fielder’s choice the parade of runs began.
The next eight Cardinal batters reached base as Corey Oetting ripped a double, and Colin Ziegel, Ryan Bedwell and Partridge each added singles.
Jared Baker took the ball for Geneva (6-3) in the bottom of the ninth and allowed two hits and a run to start the inning. But he retired the next three batters for the save.
Nathaniel Glant got the win in relief of Dan Hunt.
