MIAMI — At some point – perhaps more than once – this season, the St. Louis Cardinals’ trio of 40-years-old-plus regulars will have struggles that make some question how often they should be utilized, but not yet. For the moment, they’re cavorting like young pups and helping get the team off to a solid start.

The right combination remains elusive for this season’s Chillicothe High School baseball Hornets. Whether runs have been scarce or plentiful, whether they’ve started or finished games fast or slow, or had a steady gamelong performance, or whether they’ve defended well or poorly, the results have been frustrating more often than not, including at home last Thursday when they fell to Cameron 6-3 in Midland Empire Conference play.
