Fort Worth Christian Cardinals baseball · 2026 season.
Fort Worth Christian moved to a perfect 2-0 on the young season with a thrilling 7-6 walk-off victory over MISL CTX in Friday's tournament action. In a back-and-forth battle that tested the Cardinals' resolve, FWC delivered when it mattered most to secure their second consecutive one-run victory.
The climax of the night came off the bat of B James. With the game on the line, James laced a clutch double to center field, driving in two runs to flip the scoreboard and send the home dugout into a frenzy with a dramatic walk-off win.
The Cardinals' offense featured plenty of extra-base pop throughout the evening to keep the pressure on MISL CTX. A Ridgell sparked momentum with a sharp line-drive double to right field that advanced J Ward, while J Parkerson also hammered a pitch off the right-field wall for a booming double of his own.
James proved to be an offensive catalyst from the opening innings. Earlier in the contest, he plated G Emerson after launching a fly ball to left field that allowed him to cruise into second base, setting the tone for his late-game heroics.
FWC's resilient offense and late-game execution keep their undefeated tournament run alive. The Cardinals will look to carry this massive wave of momentum into Saturday's challenging doubleheader slate.
