The Lamar Cardinals needed a win on Thursday to stay alive in the Southland Conference Baseball Tournament and they got just that.  

First baseman Brayden Evans hit two home runs and had 4 RBI's as the Cardinals tallied 12 runs on 12 hits, eliminating the Demons from tournament play with a 12-5 victory.  

River Orsak hit a solo homer in the sixth inning and finished the day 2-5 at the plate with a double.

The game was essentially out of reach for the Demons in the second inning when Lamar put up eight runs against Northwester State pitcher Dawson Flowers.  

The Cardinals will play next at 9:00 am on Friday against the winner of the UIW vs. McNeese game which takes place at 4:00 PM on Thursday.
