Close Win Moves Cardinals to 67-63
The St. Louis Cardinals had to overcome a big game from Orlando second baseman Craig Biggio to leave Orlando Citrus Bowl with a 5-4 victory. Biggio went 2-2 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Cardinals raised their record to 67-63.

St. Louis right fielder Karim Garcia went deep in the top of the fifth. His solo home run off Orlando pitcher Don Schulze put the Cardinals in front, 4-3. It was his 18th home run of the season.

"We'll savor this win," Garcia told the St. Louis Daily News, "then get ready for the next game."
