SARTELL, Minn. — Blake Westerberg (Red Wing, Minn.) followed up an opening-round 79 with a six-over-par 78 Sunday, but the Blackberry Ridge Country Club got the better of the rest of the Saint Mary's University men's golf team, as the Cardinals settled for a 21st-place finish at the Saint John's Fall Invitational.
