The Salem Lady Softball Tigers went 1-2 in the SCA Tournament at Mountain Grove this past Saturday. In the first game, Salem beat Houston, 10-2 with Molly Fleener going 3-3 with an RBI with Bailey Mahurin getting two hits and driving in two runs. Salem then played the Thayer Lady Bobcats in the winner’s bracket and jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning, but that was all the Tigers could muster as a five-run 3rd inning by Thayer led them to a 6-2 win. Bailey Mahurin had two hits and drove in both Salem runs against Thayer. In the 3rd place game Saturday afternoon against the Willow Springs Lady Bears, Salem scored a run in the top of the 1st inning to take the lead, but a nine-run 3rd inning by the Lady Bears, fueled by a number of Salem errors, helped them to an 11-1 win in four-innings. Salem was held to two hits and the lone run was driven in by Alaina Norris. The Lady Tigers are now 4-3 on the year and they will be at Potosi Tuesday at 4:30.
