Cardinals Mow Down Braves, 11-4
Dickie Thon made an impact in the 11-4 St. Louis win over Atlanta. Thon, who led the FL in doubles with 54 in 1980, hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Every game is important, even these early ones, if the Cardinals hope to make a postseason run.

St. Louis relied on the hitting of John Valentin to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a solo home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cardinals on top, 1-0. For the game, Valentin had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"The more wins we pile up," said Thon, "the more I like our chances."
