The Mariners beat the Kardinals 21 to 14 during their fourth conference game Saturday, landing the Mariners at 3-1 in the Northern Lights Conference in what was likely one of the most suspenseful games of the season. 
The Mariners made history. They hadn&rsquo;t played a winning game against the Kenai Kardinals since 1992 nearly 20 years ago.  The Kardinals were facing a real challenge in Homer and they knew it, said Coach  Cam Wyatt. The anticipation was palpable in the large crowd filling the Mariner stands.
