NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Salisbury University baseball coach Doug Fleetwood notched his 200th career victory as the Sea Gulls' head skipper with a 5-2 road win against Christopher Newport University on Tuesday afternoon. Fleetwood's career record at SU now stands at 200-72-6 since he started in 2001.

In the top of the third inning the 26th-ranked Sea Gulls (4-1) started off strong with a two RBI double from third basemen Alex Vitale, his sixth and seventh RBI of the season.

Salisbury added to its lead in the fifth when junior Mark Bostwick scored his second run of the game when freshman Mike Celenza flew out to centerfield.

The Gulls continued their offensive prowess in the sixth, courtesy of back-to-back doubles from senior Brian Theibault and junior Brian Camper to increase the lead to four. Senior Colin Kraus got his fourth RBI of the season on an error by Christopher Newport shortstop Trae Baily, which scored Camper.

Christopher Newport (6-2) got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the eighth, one from Baily and one from pinch-hitter Parker Neal.

SU starter Dan Oleynik (1-0) pitched six full innings where he allowed three hits and struck out six CNU batters to earn his first win of the season.

The Sea Gulls will open up a weekend home stand this Friday, February 23, against Eastern followed by a Saturday doubleheader against Staten Island.
