Wildcats Win 7th Straight, Head To Benton Today
The Salem Wildcats won their 7th straight game and have gotten a game above .500 at 10-9 with their road win at Breese Central 5-2. Salem sweeps the season series with Central after scoring 3 times in the top of the 3rd inning when Aden Susmena walked and Salem got 3 straight 2 strike hits from Jalen Inlow, Noah Nix and Griffin Day to take a 3-0 lead. Connor Freeze would make it 3-2 with a long 2-run double in the bottom of the inning. Salem would get much needed insurance in the seventh when Inlow and Day came up with big RBI to extend the lead to 3. Colton Shelton came in to relieve Griffin Day and got the final out of the game with the tying run at the plate. Day was great on the mound going 6.2 allowing hits and 2 runs with 7 strikeouts. Salem will head to Benton today for an added game to their schedule.
