The Landrum Middle School Cardinals Baseball Team opened up their regular season Monday, March 4 at home with a 12-0 shutout of the visiting Jonesville Wildcats.

Trey Jackson picked up the victory on the mound, throwing a one hitter, striking out five batters. Noah Israel came in to pitch the last inning to close out the game, pitching really well in relief.

The Cardinals took advantage of struggling Wildcat pitching in the first inning Cranking up the Big Red Machine for seven runs. Jacob Murphy caught a great game behind the plate as he also crossed that same plate three times scoring three runs on one hit and two walks.

Cole Steele and Corey Ashmore scored two runs each with one hit each. Trey Jackson, A.J. Raber, Dalton Kuykendall, Adam Burns and Ryan Johnson each scored one run each. Israel, Jackson and Kuykendall had two hits each for the team.

“We also played a good game defensively,” said Coach Jimmy Hambone Camp.
