YORK, Pa. - The No. 4 seed Salisbury University baseball team defeated second-seeded University of Mary Washington 22-5 on Sunday in the Capital Athletic Conference championship game. This marked the second consecutive and seventh overall CAC title for coach Doug Fleetwood and his No. 9 ranked Sea Gulls.

Salisbury (26-7) controlled the championship game with its offense. Every SU batter had a hit in the game as the team hit a collective .528 (28-for-53). Juniors Mark Bostwick and Brian Camper along with senior Pete Callahan went 4-for-6. Senior Alex Vitale (3-for-5) blasted a two-run home run in the fifth inning to go along with two doubles.

SU senior Dan Oleynik (5-2) pitched 6.1 innings to secure the victory. Sophomore teammates Jeff Feigl and Eric Willey pitched in relief to clinch the championship.

The Sea Gulls trailed only once in the game, in the second inning 1-0, but answered quickly with eight runs in the third. Senior Colin Kraus (3-for-6) and junior Justin Armiger (3-for-5) both hit RBI doubles in the inning while freshman Hunter Wessells (3-for-6) knocked a two-run triple to close out the inning.

Mary Washington (24-9-1) used six pitchers in the game but the SU offense could not be slowed. This game tied the four-game season series between the two teams. Both Sea Gull victories over UMW came in the CAC tournament. UMW swept Salisbury in the regular-season meetings.

SU will next play on Wednesday, April 25 when they will travel to Wesley College for a night game (7 p.m.).
