Towers extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 33 on Monday, dropping them down to 0-25. They lost 16-5 to the Salem Seminoles.

On Salem's side, Jordan Bowen and Jamil Harris made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, Bowen didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Harris tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Bowen has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. At bat, Bowen went 3-for-4 with two triples, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Harris got on base in three of his five plate appearances with five stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Harris is becoming a predictor of Salem's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 6-1 (and 5-6 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Salem got a massive performance out of Carlos Prado Prado, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with five stolen bases and three runs. Prado Prado has become a key player for the Seminoles: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 6-7 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Javen Salazar, who went 1-for-4 with four stolen bases, three runs, and one double.
Looking ahead, Towers will challenge Social Circle at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Salem does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
