Youth softball is over and baseball takes center stage at the James I. Moyer Complex this week.
The Roanoke Area Youth Softball Association(RAYSA) tournaments concluded last Friday at the complex. Salem had one champion, as the 16U girls went 3-0 to take first place. The 12U girls went 2-2 before they were eliminated in the semifinals and the 10U girls won their opener but lost the next two.
