Cardinals fall to Moses Lake, Delgado strikes out nine in loss

MOSES LAKE - Kris Jackson doubled and scored a run for the Prairie Cardinals, which lost a nine-inning nonleague baseball game against Moses Lake 6-4 on Wednesday at the Larson Playfield.

Austin Allen and Ian Spendlove also had RBIs for Prairie (10-21), which opens the Seattle College Showcase tournament today.

"We played a tough game and competed well," Prairie coach Dustin Frank said. "Defensively, we had one rough inning were we walked four batters, but all in all, we competed, which I expect of our players."

Moses Lake struck out 13 Prairie hitters, while Prairie rotated six pitchers throughout the game.

"We struggled with our two strike approaches," Frank said. "I am excited to see if we make any offensive adjustments moving forward, but it was nice to see a lot of different pitchers get some work in."
