Cardinals Drop Nutcrackers, 8-4
The Montreal Cardinals overcame a good performance by Normal first baseman Dave Vargas to knock off Normal, 8-4, at The Nutcracker Suite. Vargas was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. The last-place Nutcrackers now sit at 11-60.

Montreal used a clutch at-bat from David Nieves to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It feels good to get this one," Nieves told the Montreal Chronicle.
