Aden Susmena made a huge defensive play in the 3rd as he made a sliding grab and threw out a runner at 1st base that would have scored a pair for the Eagles if it got through. He followed it up in the bottom of the inning with a single and run scored to give Salem an early 1-0 lead. The winning pitcher was Brighton Lucas going the first 3 innings allowing 0 hits and 0 runs with 3 strikeouts. Griffin Day, Trent Boles and Carter Rose also worked on the mound. Drew Belcher was really good for Odin/Patoka. He worked 6 innings scattering 7 hits and allowed just 1 earned run with 9 strikeouts.
