Burgess throws no-hitter in win

Tyler Burgess held the Nixa Eagles hitless in the Cardinals 6-0 win at Barnes Field on Tuesday afternoon.  The senior left-hander struck out thirteen and only allowed five eagles to reach base, issuing three walks and hitting two.  

The Cardinal offense scored a single run in the second inning as Gage Belcher drew a walk and then scored as Klay James reached on an error by the Eagle shortstop.  

James led off the fourth inning with a single to right, and after a strikeout, Richie Peoples lined a single to left on a hit and run that left runners on the corners.  Scott Roderique drove in James with a single to center.  Peoples scored as Roderique stole second base and after Breckin Williams drew a walk, Burgess drove in two with a double to right center.  Nathan Ervin followed with a run scoring double to left and the Cardinals found themselves leading 6-0 after the inning.  

Webb City will travel to Ozark on Thursday before hosting Seneca on Friday afternoon and Joplin on Saturday.
