Cardinals Drop White Sox, 6-2
St. Louis pitcher Hideo Nomo did his part in helping his team defeat the Chicago White Sox, 6-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. In 7.1 innings, Nomo surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. St. Louis has a record of 81-66, placing them 9th in the Virtual Baseball League.

St. Louis used a clutch at-bat from Dmitri Young to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Young.
