  Led by a four-point sweep in singles play, the Salem boys tennis team ousted Hartland Monday afternoon, 7-2, in a KLAA association cross-over match played on the Rocks' courts.

  No. 1 singles player Brock Foster set the tone for the winners when he outplayed Mark Byron, 6-1, 6-0. Brett Foster, Brock's twin brother, followed suit at No. 2 singles, when he dominated Hartland's Ben Johnson in straight sets, 6-1 and 6-1.

  In doubles action, Salem's No. 1 tandem of Josh Perrin and Jacob Scott rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 victory. Hartland earned its first point of the afternoon at No. 2 doubles when Ross Bemben and Julian Cafmeyer nipped Mike Keum and Alek Zultowski, 6-3, 7-5.

  The Rocks captured points at No. 3 and 4 doubles thanks to the outstanding efforts of Greg Selewski and Elliot Stout, who outlasted Tom Mann and Nick Willis, 6-0, 4-6, 6-3, at No. 3; and the duo of Vishnu Rajandran and Karl Allen, who won a thrilling three-setter over Jordan White and Nick Lipon, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3, at No. 4.

  Hartland earned its second point in the No. 5 doubles match in which Adam Holka and Kurt Norris defeated Areeb Siddiqui and Mughil Govardhanan, 7-5, 6-4.
