It wasn’t easy but the South Shelby Cardinals were able to pull out a 10-9 win over the Salisbury Panthers in the Class 2 District Semifinal game to advance to the championship game where they will play the district host and top seeded Harrisburg Bulldogs.
   After Salisbury scored two in the top of the first inning, David Heathman walked and would later come around to score, cutting the lead in half, making it 2-1 after one inning.
   Salisbury added a run in the top of the third and three more in the top of the fourth to go up 6-1. The Cardinals answered in the bottom half of the inning.

The South Shelby baseball team went through a rough stretch, dropping games to Louisiana and Monroe City recently.
   Louisiana 9
   South Shelby 1
   The Cardinals lost to the Louisiana Bulldogs in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated.
   Scoreless after four innings, the Bulldogs put three across in the top of the fifth inning to take a 3-0 lead. That’s how it would stand until the seventh inning. Louisiana exploded for six run thanks to six hits and two walks. That pushed the lead up to 9-0.
   Wes Mefford led off the bottom of the seventh with a single. He would later score on a Seth Scantlin double for the Cardinals only run of the game. Mefford had two of the Cardinals’ five hits in the game, while Scantlin, Adam Ellyson and Christian Meeker picked up the other three hits.
   Monroe City 8
   South Shelby 7
   Things looked good early for the South Shelby Cardinals but fell apart late as they lost a close one, 8-7, to the Monroe City Panthers.
