The Cats opened the night with a 4-2 comeback victory. Trailing 2-0 in the fifth inning, Salem loaded the bases and got a 2 run single from Avery Gullion to tie the game. Payton Gullion would score the go ahead run on heads up base running and Avery would follow him to the plate for an insurance tally.

Payton Gullion came in to get the final 6 outs and the save. He worked a perfect 2 innings with 4 strikeouts to nail it down. At the plate, Keytin Grawe singled and scored, Payton Gullion went 2-3 with a run, Kyler King, Huck Mulvaney and Jaxon Ward also had hits.
