SALISBURY, Md. - The rain pounded the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex on Friday afternoon but the Sea Gull Classic went on as planned as the Salisbury University softball team hosted their 12th annual event featuring 10 teams from Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The Sea Gulls swept their two games by a combined score of 21-0. Salisbury defeated Cabrini College 16-0 in five innings in the first game and quickly started the second game with Allegheny College and won 4-0.

Rain is forecasted for the rest of Friday evening into Saturday. The status of Saturday's games will be announced on Saturday morning. There will be a modified schedule for Saturday since two teams have returned home Friday.

Salisbury (7-3) flexed its muscle against Cabrini as the Sea Gulls bashed three home runs against the Cavaliers and scored 13 runs in the third inning. Sophomore All-American Kelly Waskewicz (3-for-5, four RBIs) slugged two home runs in back-to-back at-bats for the Sea Gulls. The two jacks are Waskewicz's first of the season. She led the nation last season with 17 home runs. Sophomore catcher Lauren Brenneman also knocked one out in the 13-run third as she hit a three-run homer. Junior transfer Rachel Hastings (2-1) picked up the win as she pitched three innings of scoreless relief. SU had 17 hits in the win.

The Sea Gulls dashed onto the field in game two against Allegheny College as the rains began to intensify. SU scored one run in the bottom of the second inning to take the 1-0 lead as sophomore Jen Cahall cracked a sacrifice fly to center field to score Hastings. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the maroon and gold added two more runs as senior Kurisha Hoffman and sophomore Brittany Lounge crossed the plate for the Sea Gulls. The Gulls added insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Junior Stacy Davis (4-1) recorded the seven inning shutout as she gave up three hits on three walks and struck out eight.
