[SUPER=03-Salem/Cannons vs. Avalanche; :00]
Muggsy had plenty to cheer about as the Avalanche exploded for 5 runs in the first inning.
With Salem already up 1-to-nothing, John Lindsey sends a shot to left field. Jay Jones and Juan Uribe will score on the hit. Lindsey gets two rbi's and Salem in is front 3-to-nothing.
Then later in the first, Choo Freeman will smack one up the middle.
Lindsey and Matt Holiday hurry home.

Salem gets more than enough in the first as it doubles up Potomac 6-to-3.
