Not Done Yet: Salem Win Late to Narrow Series Deficit to 3-1
Hailey Melton pitched well, but the Dunedin Blue Jays lost anyway, falling, 6-3, in extra innings to the Salem Red Sox at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. With the win, Salem closed their deficit in the best-of-7 Divisional Series to 3-1. Melton gave the Blue Jays 7.2 innings and allowed 1 run.

Salem needed the clutch hitting of Declan Jones Jr. to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 4-2. For the game, Jones Jr. had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I really like what we did out there today," Jones Jr. said after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin.
