Mentor fell for the second time in as many days to Brunswick as the Blue Devils were outhit by the Cardinals (7-6) but still managed a 6-3 road victory on May 7.

Brunswick rallied for a 6-5 win at home in nine innings against Mentor on May 6.

Dominic Dengel was solid at the plate for the Cardinals. Dengel went 2 for 4, drove in a run and scored one run. He singled in the first and fifth innings, and also stole two bases.

The Cardinals (10-10) scored three runs in the bottom of the third to cut their deficit to three. An error, an RBI single by Eiswerth, and a wild pitch sparked the rally.

Nathan Birtley and Ricky Valeri each doubled in the loss for Mentor, which plays Aurora on May 8 before finishing a very busy week with games against North and Shaker Heights on May 9.
