Box Score 2 CHESTERTOWN, Md. - Salisbury University junior
Stacy Davis did it all for the Sea Gull softball
team on Wednesday against Eastern Shore rival Washington (Md.)
College in a non-conference doubleheader. Salisbury (5-3) swept the
two games by a combined score of 17-0 in the season opener for the
Shorewomen (0-2).
Davis (3-1) threw a one-hit shutout in the first game as the Sea
Gulls won 8-0 in five innings. Davis struck out seven batters,
walked one and gave-up a hit in the fourth inning to Washington. On
offense, Davis went 3-for-3 at the plate as she was a double shy of
the cycle.
Salisbury scored twice in the second and third innings before
the Sea Gulls doubled that total with four runs in the top of the
fourth inning. Davis had a hand in all three run producing innings.
She led off the second inning with a triple and scored on an
Ali Ritter (1-for-3) RBI single. Ritter eventually
came around to score Salisbury's second run. In the third inning,
Davis slammed a two-run home run, her second of the year, to put SU
up 4-0. Finally, Davis capped off her career game with a two-run
single that scored Rachel Hastings (one RBI) and
Alex Winstead (2-for-2, two runs). Earlier in the
fourth, sophomore catcher Lauren Brenneman
(2-for-3) hit her second home run in a Sea Gull uniform as her solo
shot gave SU a 5-0 advantage.
In the second game, Salisbury scored two runs in the first
inning followed by four in the second and two runs in the fourth
and an insurance run in the fifth as the Sea Gulls won 9-0 in five
innings. Senior Kortni Pedlow (2-1) earned the win
in the circle for the Gulls as she pitched two scoreless innings
before Hastings came in to pitch the final three frames. Sophomore
Kelly Waskewicz (2-for-2) doubled to lead off the
game and later stole home in the first of her team-high three runs
in the game. Brenneman followed and knocked in Stacey
Malarkey on a RBI single up the middle of Washington's
infield. In the second inning, the highlight was Winstead's
two-run single that scored Kurisha Hoffman (two
runs) and Jen Cahall. Hastings added a triple in
the fifth and scored on a throwing error.
Salisbury is home this weekend as the maroon and gold host the
Sea Gull Invitational on Friday and Saturday at the Henry Parker
Complex in Salisbury, Md. The Sea Gulls open up with Cabrini
and Allegheny on Friday afternoon.
