The St. Louis Cardinals have another title to add to their umbrella of minor league affiliate winnings. The Johnson City Cardinals are the Rookie League affiliate of the Cardinals and they have won the Appalachian League title.
As mentioned in a previous article here, Johnson City had their backs against the wall (not for the first time) in a must-win game and were able to pull it off.
The Cardinals beat the Burlington Royals 8-6 in Game 3 of the series to finish out the title on the backs of 18-year-old stud Malcom Nunez who had three RBI’s on the game and an overall strong team effort.
