SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury
University softball team kicked off the weekend with an 11-2
victory against non-conference opponent Capital University on
Saturday afternoon.
Salisbury (11-4) padded their 4-2 lead with seven runs in the
last two innings of play.
SU junior Meghan Murphy started off the fifth
inning with a double. She later scored on a Stacey
Malarkey sacrifice fly. Senior Nichole
Fuqua doubled and later scored on a single from freshman
Ali Ritter. Senior catcher Tee Dronenburg then
smashed a two-run home run to center field.
In the sixth the Gulls plated three additional runs. Murphy
reached on a fielder's choice and promptly scored thanks to
Malarkey's two-run homer. Sophomore Brittany
Sullivan later singled home freshman Jacquie
Henry to cap off the seven-run two inning spurt.
SU junior pitcher Kirsten Wells (7-2) went the
distance as she allowed six hits, two earned runs, and struck out
