Palm Beach Cardinals News Release
JUPITER, FL - For the second consecutive season, the Palm Beach Cardinals (St. Louis Cardinals) will be participating in the Florida State League Postseason.

Game 2 will take place on Wednesday, September 5th at 6:30 PM with the Cardinals returning home to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. If the series is tied at one game apiece, the decisive Game 3 of the series would also take place at Roger Dean on Thursday, September 6th at 6:30 PM.
