On Tuesday night, the Salem varsity baseball team continued summer league play dropping their game at Carbondale 4-3 in a thirteen inning thriller.
Carbondale jumped on top early grabbing a 2-0 lead after the opening inning, but Salem answered right back with 2 of their own in the 2nd. That is where we stayed until the thirteenth when Salem scored in the opening frame, only to see Carbondale walk it off with 2 in the bottom of the inning.
Gavin Zimmermann doubled and drove in a run with Drew Davis singling home another. Jalen Inlow had a pair of hits along with Noah Nix and Kameron Wilkins. Salem also got hits from Griffin Day and Nick Gregg.
Day worked the first seven innings allowing 5 hits and 2 runs. Zimmermann worked the final 5.1 scattering 3 hits and allowing just one earned run. They combined to strikeout 7 to just 2 walks.
Salem falls to 4-1 in the division and 10-2 overall this summer season.
