The Yorkton Cardinals are now 1-1 on their current 4 game roadtrip as they scored 5 runs in the Top of 9th inning to defeat the hometown Edmonton Prospects 12-9 on Thursday night.

Cards' first baseman Nick Gallipeau led the way at the plate going 3 for 5 with a double and a RBI, while Alnardo Rodriguez, George Santiago, Matt Chavarria and Sergio Perez all chipped in with 2 hits as well.

New Jersey native Anthony Martinez got the start on the mound for the Cards going 5 innings giving 3 runs on 9 hits while striking out 5 but got the no decision. Aaron Dick went 1 inning giving up 3 runs on 3 hits and got the win. Connor Girard got the loss on the mound for the Prospects.
