From Special Reports

Five starts and five almost flawless performances has Pete Van Horn and the Dixie Boys Cardinals riding high as the top team in the standings.

Van Horn continued his streak of shutout starts against a powerful Mets team Tuesday with a 4-0 win for the Cards.

The ace pitcher had a perfect game going until the sixth when he gave up his only walk and a no-hitter until the seventh when he gave up his only hit of the night to the Mets’ Kyle Golden. He also sat down 17 Mets batters with strikeouts.

Manley Davis helped wipe out any harm the one hit could cause as he made a good glove save at third and whipped it to second for the final out of the game.

While Van Horn was burning them from the mound, Daniel Hussey was scorching the Mets from the plate with a 3-for-3 showing. Hussey was a double short of hitting for the cycle with a homer, a triple and a single on the night.

Matt Johnson had two hits for the Cardinals while Van Horn and Josh Rogers both notched a hit apiece.
