Ben Grillo hit a bases loaded walkoff single in the bottom of 11th inning to help the Cardinals get their 2nd victory of the season.

Canora's Kody Rock went strong innings in relief and got his first victory of the season.
While on the Mils side veteran third baseman Garret Kilgore led the way going 3-5 with 2 RBIs which included the triple that tied up the ball for the Mils late. Curtis Johnson would start on the bump for the Mils going 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits while Callaway Kirkpatrick went 4 and a third in relief out of the Melville bullpen and was tagged with the loss on the mound.
