Nic Hurlers Do Their Job In Twin Win

The pitching problems North Idaho College coach Jack Bloxom worried about weren’t a problem Saturday when the Cardinals swept Pierce Community College 8-3 and 8-1 in non-conference baseball In Coeur d’Alene.

Steve Shorzman struck out five through four innings of the opening game. The Cardinals won the nightcap thanks in part to Chris McGregor’s two-run double in the fifth inning and Jeremy Mort’s three-run triple in the sixth.
