BEAUMONT, Texas - Lamar scored three runs in the top of the first and a thick fog halted a Le Moyne rally and the game in the fifth inning as the Cardinals won the series opener 6-1.

After a one out single by Phil St. Amant (Brockport, N.Y./Brockport), Robby Perez (Miami, Fla./Belen Jesuit) ripped a two-out double down the right filed line. St. Amant scored from second.

The Cardinals answered with an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth and added to their lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

In the top of the sixth inning, Le Moyne plated one run and had the bases loaded with none out when the game was halted due to poor visibility.
