Nieves Stars in 12-5 Cardinals Win
The Montreal Cardinals defeated the Normal Nutcrackers, 12-5, in part because of second baseman David Nieves. Nieves went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 5 for the Cardinals. The winner was Fernando Mendoza, who threw 135 pitches over 8.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 6 hits. Montreal has now won 3 in a row.

Alex Vega chipped in a grand slam home run for Montreal in the bottom of the first. For the game, the designated hitter had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 home runs, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 5 runs batted in.

Nieves said afterward that "winning is the goal."
