FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The fielding struggles continue for the No. 9 Salisbury University baseball team as the Sea Gulls committed five errors on the road Saturday, for the second time in a week, as the University of Mary Washington rolled 13-7 in a key Capital Athletic Conference game.

Salisbury (22-7, 5-5 CAC) has now lost its last four games, all conference games to York (Pa.) College and UMW, and enter next week's CAC tournament as the No. 4 seed. The Sea Gulls will travel to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, April 17 and face No. 3 seed Catholic University.

Mary Washington (21-7-1, 8-2 CAC) scored a run in every inning except the seventh and eighth innings. The Eagles banged out 17 singles in the victory. UMW will be the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament. The game had 28 combined hits, all singles, as neither team had an extra-base hit.

SU starting pitcher Bryan Brainer got chased out of the game in the fourth as he allowed six runs (five earned), seven hits, three walks, two wild pitches and struck out three Eagle batters in 3.2 innings. UMW scored four runs in the fourth and sixth innings. Third baseman Chris Anderson led the Eagles on offense with a 4-for-5 game, three runs scored and three RBIs.

Salisbury senior Andrew Jensen went 2-for-5 at the plate, scored two runs and knocked in two RBIs.

The four-game losing streak is the longest in the seven-year tenure of SU coach Doug Fleetwood. Salisbury has committed 12 errors during the losing skid. The 5-5 conference mark is the worse record in the Fleetwood era where the Gulls have usually been the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the CAC tournament.
