FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The Salisbury University softball team saw its 10-game winning streak snapped in the second game of Thursday's Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader against University of Mary Washington. The Sea Gulls won the first game 3-2 on the road but dropped a 5-3 contest in the second game.

Salisbury (21-7, 7-1 CAC) got on the scoreboard early in the first game as the Sea Gulls scored a run in the first inning and two in the third. First baseman Ali Ritter (2-for-3, two runs, double) knocked in shortstop Kelly Waskewicz in the third and later scored on a RBI hit by catcher Lauren Brenneman. SU starting pitcher Stacy Davis (13-3) pitched five scoreless innings before the Eagles came alive late and scored a run in the sixth and seventh innings. Freshman Kelsey Mills made her SU debut and got the final out to record the save.

Mary Washington (22-15, 9-3 CAC) scored first in the second game as the Eagles took an early 1-0 lead after one inning of play. The Eagles would later chase SU starting pitcher Kortni Pedlow (6-2) in the fourth as UMW scored three runs to break open a 1-1 game. Mills was called upon to finish out the game for the Sea Gulls. Salisbury scored a run in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings. Waskewicz (two runs) slammed her CAC leading 12th home run in the top of the sixth to cut the UMW lead to three, 5-2.

There is little rest for Salisbury as the Sea Gulls turn around to host York (Pa.) College in a CAC doubleheader on Friday, April 11, at 2:30 p.m. The two teams were slated to face each other on Saturday but expected rain showers moved the game up one day. Salisbury will close out its CAC regular-season schedule on Sunday with a doubleheader in Frederick, Md., against Hood College.
