Michael Grady then drove in Charlie Heimann to give the Generals a two-run advantage.

 

In the bottom of the sixth, another Cardinals’ error allowed Racine to score after he reached on a single.

 

He finished the day 3-for-3 with a homer and a double to lead Pittsfield’s offense. Abdallah went 2-for-2.

 

Patrick Rindfuss got the start on the bump. Ben Cornish came on to throw five innings of one-run relief and earn the win, striking out five and walking four.
