The Cardinals scored eight runs in the first inning.

No. 9 Mount Hebron 4, Hammond 3: The host Vikings (5-1) are off to their best start in recent history after beating the Bears (2-4).
"We've got some work to do, especially getting the bats ready, but I think it's looking good for us," said sophomore Jack Schroeder, who drove in Jake Snyder from second base for the winning run with one out in the bottom of the seventh.
