Roxana hadn't done well against Salem recently (they were 1-6 in their previous seven matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Shells came out on top against the Wildcats by a score of 6-1. This was a revenge game for the Shells: when they faced off against the Wildcats two weeks ago, they had to take a 3-0 defeat.

The team relied heavily on Kael Hester, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Kadin Carlisle, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Roxana is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-8-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Salem, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-13.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Roxana will square off against Wesclin at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Salem, they will take on Altamont at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Indians' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
