Wildcats Improve To 7-1 As Baker’s 5 Goals Lift Them Over Centralia

The Salem Wildcats won the 618 Rivalry Soccer Game over Centralia 7-2 avenging last year’s loss and improving the Cats best start ever to 7-1.  Eli Baker added to his career record tally of goals as the junior scored 5 times giving him 16 over the past 3 games and 25 this season.  He is chasing the single season record he broke as a freshman and again last year with 32 goals.  He has already almost doubled the career scoring mark in his first 2+ years in the program with 84.  Robbie Shober added another goal for the Cats.  Dax Snow scored for the Orphans and they would add a late goal as well.  Salem will head to Breese Central for conference play on Thursday before hosting Freeburg on Saturday.
