SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University
softball team swept Capital University, 8-0 and 8-4, on Sunday
afternoon in a doubleheader at Sea Gull Field.
Salisbury (14-4) came-from-behind in the second game against
Capital (7-7) as the Sea Gulls trailed 4-0 heading into the bottom
half of the fifth inning. The Sea Gull bats came alive and scored
eight unearned runs to win, 8-4.
Freshman Jen Cahall blasted a three-run home
run followed by a solo home run from senior catcher Tee
Dronenburg, her second of the day. Dronenburg hit a
walk-off home run in the first game when her solo homer cleared the
fence in the fifth inning to put SU up 8-0 and end the game.
SU pitcher Kirsten Wells (9-2) got wins in both
games as she started the first game and came in for relief in the
second. Wells has a team low 2.53 ERA and did not allow a run in
either of her appearances today. She added four strikeouts as she
now has 32 for the season.
Salisbury sophomore third baseman Stacey
Malarkey hit a three-run home run, her fifth on the
season, in the second inning of the first game against Capital.
Senior second baseman Nichole Fuqua extended her
hitting streak to 15 games with a hit in each game.
The Sea Gulls went 4-0 at this weekend's home stand and will
rest this week before getting back on the field next Sunday, March
25, when they travel to The College of New Jersey.
