The Salem Tiger Tennis Team won the SCA Conference Tournament yesterday held in Salem and are the 2025 SCA Champions. Congratulations to Coach Hubbs and all the players on a fine year!

Kash Howard’s bottom of the 7th inning two out, two-RBI hit capped off an improbable six-run comeback after a rain delay at the SHS Baseball Field Complex as the Salem Baseball Tigers came back to beat the Mountain View-Liberty Eagles Thursday, 6-5. Cayden Moody and Howard each had two hits and two RBI for Salem who stopped their three-game losing streak and improved to 8-5-1, 4-1 in the SCA Conference. The win keeps their conference title hopes alive. They will be at Plato today at 4:30. 

The Mountain Grove Lady Panthers scored three runs in the 1st inning with two outs and four runs in the second inning with two outs, then held on to beat the Salem Lady Softball Tigers in a rain shortened five-inning game, 9-4. Reagan Dubois had two hits, and Taylor Fulton had a two-run double for Salem in the loss as they fall to 9-8 on the year and 2-4 in the SCA Conference. The Salem Lady Tigers will hold their Salem Softball Classic today and tomorrow at the Salem City Park with round robin play starting at 3:15. Saturday play will begin at 9:00 in the morning.

The Salem Tigers Track Teams will be at Mountain Grove for a meet starting Saturday morning at 10:00.

The St. Louis Blues hosted the Winnipeg Jets for the first time in postseason play and Pavel Buchnevich set the tone early with a pair of goals within four minutes. He earn the hat trick in the third as the Blues blew out the Jets, 7-2.
