JV Meurer pitched a complete game four-hitter and had the game winning two-RBI double in the 5th inning as the St. James Baseball Tigers beat the Salem Baseball Tigers Thursday, 3-1, in the Class 4, District 4 Tournament. Meurer gave up the one earned run on an RBI single by Cayden Moody in the 6th inning as he struck out seven and walked one in getting the win. Blake Edwards went 4 2/3rds inning for Salem and took the loss giving up only one hit, but he walked three and two of those walks scored in the 5th inning. Salem finished the year with a 12-9-1 record and captured a share of the SCA Conference Championship. Congratulations to Coach Tony Edwards and the entire baseball team on a fine season. St. James will face Owensville Monday at St. Clair in the district semi-final.
