FT. MYERS, FL - After shutting down the Miracle on Monday night 1-0, the Cardinals' staff gave up 13 runs on 14 hits in a 13-6 drubbing on Tuesday afternoon at Hammond Stadium.

Leading the way for Ft. Myers was shortstop J.R. Taylor who finished a perfect 4-for-4 on the afternoon with five RBI.

Trailing 1-0 after one inning, the Cardinals scored three unearned runs in the second to take the lead. Joe Mather led off the frame with a bunt single, followed by a Rayner Laya single. John Santor reached on an error by the third baseman Jose Leger which allowed Mather to score and Laya to advance to third. Brandon Marcelli then grounded out to score Laya, and Santor scored on a wild pitch to cap the inning.

The Miracle were able to come back with a single run in the second, two in the third, and two in the fourth, all off Cardinals' starter Mike Parisi. Parisi (1-3) gave up six runs in total on seven hits in just four innings.

Roberto Batista came in the game in the fifth, but did not fair any better as he allowed four runs in the inning to allow the Miracle to break the game open.

Justin Garza gave up two runs in the seventh, and Chris Russ allowed a run in the eighth for the 13th run.

The Cardinals added two runs in the ninth on an RBI-single by Jarrett Hoffpauir and an error by Leger, his second of the game. Mike McCoy, who reached on the error, was credited with an RBI on the play.

Ft. Myers' starter Adam Harben lasted four innings and allowed four runs (one earned). Chris Schutt (3-3) earned the win in relief.

The Cardinals will battle the Miracle in the third game of a four-game series on Wednesday night.
