Salem pitcher Ryan Read didn’t need much help from his offense Monday afternoon against visiting Lithonia, but the senior hurler got it anyway as Reed and the Seminoles blasted their way to an 11-1 victory in non-region action. Read gave up just one run in the opening frame while the Seminoles scored two or more runs in three different innings, highlighted by a three-run blast from first baseman Akil Baddoo in the bottom of the fifth inning. Salem finished with six hits while Read allowed just three base knocks, improving the Seminoles’ record to 4-4 overall with region play looming.
