JUPITER, Fla. -- Reggie Sanders hit his second homer since having his appendix removed March 18, and the Cardinals tied the Baltimore Orioles 5-5 in 10 innings Wednesday.
Both clubs will break camp and head to Oklahoma City for exhibition games today and Friday.
Cardinals right fielder Rick Ankiel threw out a runner with a perfect throw to third base in the eighth. The former pitching phenom had a chance to be the hitting hero in the ninth but grounded back to the mound with the potential winning run on third.
He will stay in Jupiter awaiting a minor league assignment when the Cardinals leave town. He needs to clear waivers this weekend to remain with St. Louis.
St. Louis reliever Bill Pulsipher gave up two hits in a scoreless inning and has not allowed a run in 11 innings this spring.
