Gardner had a role in the most successful week of the season for the Wildcats as they sweep three games in the ZooKeepers Baseball Invitational at Southwestern Randolph.

Eastern Randolph topped Wheatmore 11-4, beat Southwestern Randolph 5-1 and hammered Rockingham County 14-5.

Gardner is a senior pitcher and utility player.

He was the winning pitcher against Wheatmore, working six innings. He also went 3-for-3 with a home run and double at the plate in that game. He had a hit and scored a run against Southwestern Randolph.

The Wildcats won just five of their first 17 games. Three of those victories came last week.
