The Salem 12u All Stars season came to an end in the If Necessary game of the District 1 Tournament at Lawrenceville.

After beating Robinson 5-3 on Saturday to force the Sunday winner-take-all game, Salem fell 7-5, giving up 5 runs in the bottom of the fifth to erase their 4-2 lead. They didn’t give up and scored a run in the sixth but their comeback was shut down. Eli Purdy went 3-3 for Salem with a double. Tanner Purintun drove in 2 with a double. Devan Jennings and Dakota Gregg added RBI. Robinson advances all the way to the State Tournament to represent District 1.

Good luck to Coach Mack Thompson and the rest of Robinson on the upcoming State Tournament.
