The system went 3-and-2 with the lower rungs of the farm providing wins and exciting performances. Cory Jones pitched well for Peoria. Jimmy Bosco, the Cardinals' 13th round pick in this year's draft, hit for the first cycle in State College's history. And Alexander Reyes, the 18-year-old Dominican pitcher signed by the Cardinals last December, struck out 11 in 6 innings for Johnson City.
