Bobcats Blank Cincinnati, Cardenas Winner
Bruce Cardenas was in a mood to talk following the Cleveland Bobcats contest against the Cincinnati Packers, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Packers, 6-0.

"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Cardenas said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."

The right-hander blanked Cincinnati on a 6-hitter, allowing 1 walk and racking up 5 strikeouts.

This season, Cardenas has fashioned a 6-2 mark and 2.53 ERA in 96 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .213 against him and he has logged 51 strikeouts.
