FERRUM, Va. - The No. 10 Salisbury University baseball team dropped its second straight game, in as many days, as Capital Athletic Conference rival York (Pa.) College ended Salisbury's season 4-3 in the NCAA Division III Ferrum regional Friday morning. Mental mistakes again took a toll on SU as they committed four errors and threw six wild pitches which lead to all four YCP runs.

Salisbury (33-10) went into the top of the eighth inning down, 4-1, but was able to manufacture a run when senior Colin Kraus (2-for-3) led the inning off with a walk. He eventually scored on a passed ball to cut the Spartan lead to 4-2.

In the ninth inning freshman Mike Celenza (2-for-4, RBI) led off with a solo home run, his fifth of the season, which sliced the deficit to 4-3. The maroon and gold could not extend the game or their season as the rest of the Gulls went down quietly after two strikeouts and a groundout.

SU senior Bryan Brainer (8-3) suffered only his third loss this season in 14 starts. Brainer went five innings, gave up three runs on eight hits and threw four wild pitches.

York (31-13) was led by Ryan Craig and Dennis Maxim who each had two hits and scored one run. Jason Christenberry earned the victory on the hill for YCP as he went six innings and only gave up one run on five hits. Chris Brower earned the save in his three innings of relief work.

In Salisbury's three NCAA tournament games they have committed seven errors and threw a combined seven wild pitches. Which led to seven unearned runs for Sea Gull opponents.

SU lost three of its final four games this season as they gave up a combined 28 runs. Six of the Sea Gulls' 10 losses came at the hands of CAC opponents. York improved to 3-1 on the year against Salisbury. SU's lone win came in the CAC tournament.
