The Luck Cardinals defeated the Northwood Evergreens 10-0 in a West Lakeland Conference baseball game Monday at Luck. However the game was much closer than the score indicated.
The Cardinals were leading the game 1-0 until the fifth inning when they scored nine runs, thanks mostly to eight Northwood errors.
After the dust settled in the inning, Northwood was trailing 10-0 against a team it had defeated 9-7 earlier in the season.
Gus Morley was 2-for-3 with a double for the Evergreens, who fall to 4-4 in the WLC and 7-8 overall.
