JUPITER, Fla. • Rookie third baseman Patrick Wisdom's walkoff homer in the sixth and final inning gave the Red team a 7-6 over the Blue team in a Cardinals intrasquad game today and sent some of the losers to their knees.

Manager Mike Matheny had determined that the players (and manager) on the losing club had to perform the duties normally performed by Rip Rowan's clubhouse equipment staff.

Matheny, who had no particular team in the fight, assigned himself to clean all the toilets, not only in his office, but all the other shower areas.

"Both teams are my team," said Matheny. "It's the right thing to do."

Matt Holliday was assigned to clean the training room. Trevor Rosenthal was cleaning up in the kitchen area. Several rookies were plowing through the task of cleaning all the shoes.

Rowan said, "I think I'll play ping pong," and promptly beat Matt Carpenter, whose team had won the game which was pitched for both sides by Memphis pitching coach Bryan Eversgerd.

The soft-tossing lefthander allowed a potful of home runs, including two to rookie Randall Grichuk, acquired from the Los Angeles Angels in the off-season.

After Matheny finishes the toilets, he can take the rest of the day off. And Thursday, too, if he wants because the manager, pleased with what he has seen so far, has canceled the last scheduled workout before the exhibition season begins on Friday against Miami.
