The Salem Cardinals broke a 6-6 with a run in the top of the 10th inning to beat the Nashua Chiefs in the Senior Babe Ruth Southern League tournament championship Saturday at Holman Stadium.
The game had been postponed Friday night with one out in the top of the seventh inning, with the game tied at 4 and runners at second and third for the Cardinals.
Salem scored two runs in that inning to take a 6-4 lead, but Nashua answered right back to tie it and force extra innings. After two scoreless frames, the Cardinals put a run on the board in the top of the 10th and while the Chiefs had two runners on with two outs in the bottom of the inning, they couldn’t get a run across.
After winning the title the two previous seasons over the Cardinals, the Chiefs couldn’t come up with a three-peat.
