Capital City Cardinals in 2011
In 2011, the Capital City Cardinals continued it's brand out of baseball out of West Raleigh with a new team of 8 year olds who played some very competetive baseball over the summer winning tournaments and giving the WR red team another run for it's money. Jim Gruskin from the Cardinals in 2010 coached the team in 2011 with his son Christopher from last year being one of the leaders of the team.

Congratulations to last years Capital City Cardinals who made the 2011 WR All-Star teams
Last years first ever Capital City Cardinals team had 5 players make the WR All-Star team. Congratulations to Michael Groves, Jackson White and Will Thistle form making the 9U Red Team. Congratulations also to Payton Bloom who made the 8U blue team this year after not being selected for the 7U Blue team last year. Congrats also to Luke Hayes who made the 7U blue team this year.
Daniel Stephens was selected as an alternate for the 9U red team and was a suprise to many that he did not make one of the all-star teams. Daniel led the Cardinals last year in batting every offensive category last summer and playing short stop and third for us. Daniel has been one of the main contributors for his WR team to become tournament champions this season for the third season in a row (Riverdogs, Phillies, Knights) being the only WR player to have accomplished that during that period.
Daniel was able to play a tournament this past weekend for a team out of Rolesville that lost all three games. They had Daniel play short the whole time as well as pitch. Daniel did very well at short making several plays, no errors, and went 4 for 8 for the tournament with 2 doubles and 5 RBI's. The team, Rolesville Havoc, scored only 10 runs all three games, two of them coming against WR Red who broke open a 5-2 game in the 4th with 16 runs, an inning where Daniel was injured and removed from the game after diving for a ball hit up the middle and jamming his hand into the 2nd baseman's leg. Daniel pitched 3 innings in our 2nd game allowing only one walk and one run.
