Cardinals Bang Out 6-2 Win Versus Bradenton
Starting pitcher Jim Sandberg took care of business, helping the Palm Beach Cardinals stifle the Bradenton Marauders, 6-2. Sandberg, now 2-1, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The Marauders fall to 9-12 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

Palm Beach used the hitting of Ron Neal to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Cardinals on top, 2-0. For the game, Neal had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

Neal attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
