SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 26 Salisbury
University baseball team hit six doubles in its 16-2 victory over
Route 13 rival Wesley College on Monday afternoon at Sea Gull
Field. Salisbury leads the Capital Athletic Conference in doubles
with 45 which is 25 more then the next closes team.
SU freshman Mike Celenza belted two of the Sea
Gulls' five doubles in the seven-run fourth inning. The first
baseman now has a team leading 10 doubles for the season. In that
same inning, senior third baseman Alex Vitale
(3-for-5, five RBI, three runs) hit a three-run double to
centerfield. Vitale later added a two-run homerun in the sixth
inning. Catcher Pete Callahan (3-for-4, three RBI,
two runs) also blasted a solo shot in the sixth and back-up catcher
Tyler Riley led off the eighth inning with a solo
homer.
Sea Gull senior Andrew Jensen (two RBI, two
runs) extended his hitting streak to 13 games as he went 2-for-4 at
the plate. CAC Player of the Week Mark Bostwick,
fresh off hitting for the cycle on Saturday, went 0-for-4 to snap
his 10-game hitting streak.
SU pitcher Ryan Bennick (4-0) pitched seven
innings (no earned runs, seven strikeouts) to earn the win. Wesley
starting pitcher Ryan Buckland (3-2) suffered the loss as he
surrendered nine runs on nine hits in less then four innings of
work.
Salisbury has won 12 games in a row and will place that streak
on the line tomorrow afternoon as they host Virginia Wesleyan
College at 2 p.m. The Marlins are the only team to beat the Gulls
this season, a 4-0 shutout at the beginning of the season.
