"Our two big guns are really carrying us," Woodland coach John Craig said. "Landon had a couple home runs in some big spots there. Garret came in and shut them down for the most part until the last inning when we let a few unearned runs come in, but I'm just proud of the kids. We've lost three good players to injuries, and they're still fighting."

The victory improved the Cardinals to 12-7 on the season.
