The fifth inning saw Braxton Mittan lead off with a blast over the wall in right field, the Cards third homer of the day. Nolan Mantell used a nice curve to K the first two hitters in the bottom of the fifth, then Daley ended the inning, laying out in the hole to take away a sure hit, then firing a strike across the diamond to stun the Nishnabotna nine.
