Izzy Reyes delivered another big hit for the Cardinals in the second inning with a 3-run double. Matthew Selman later hit his own double with the bases loaded to score a pair of runs.
Cordeiro, who homered in his third-straight game, was 2-for-2 with four RBI. Reyes added a two-run single and finished 2-for-4 with five RBI.
Freshman pitcher Will Goodwin made the start and earned his first high school victory by throwing five solid innings.
