SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University baseball team kept its home winning streak alive, taking down Washington (Md.) College on Monday afternoon, 9-2. The Sea Gulls have now won nine straight at the SU Baseball Field dating back to the 2009 season.

The Sea Gulls (4-1, 3-0 Capital Athletic Conference) got another late-inning surge to collect the win against the Shoremen (0-1), scoring three times in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie.

Salisbury got things going in the bottom of the sixth, doing the damage with two outs. After a double by senior catcher Ryan Smith (Waldorf, Md.), the Shoremen recorded a pair of outs. But the Sea Gull bats came through, thanks to RBI singles by junior Brian Green (Salisbury, Md.) and senior Trevor Cobb (Hagerstown, Md.); a Washington error led to Salisbury's third run of the inning, taking a 5-2 lead.

Salisbury came up with a run in the bottom of the seventh and three more in the eighth to blow the game open.

The Shoremen took one-run leads in both the first and fourth innings, but the Sea Gulls would even the score in the home half of each inning.

Salisbury tied the game in the fourth inning on a ball that traveled no more than 20 feet from home plate. Junior designated hitter Devon Quaglietta (Monroe Township, N.J.) began the inning with a two-out double to left field, before advancing to third on a balk by Washington starting pitcher Shane Mattingly. The added 90 feet was what the Sea Gulls needed as Green hit a high chopper that Mattingly came in to field. Quaglietta scampered home as Green beat the throw at first.

Green and Quaglietta each finished the day 2-for-4 at the plate while senior first baseman Mike Celenza (Gaithersburg, Md.) was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, driving in four runs.

Junior reliever Drew Baldwin (Winston-Salem, N.C.) pitched two perfect innings, collecting his first win of the season. He came on in relief of junior Alex Buck (Averill Park, N.Y.) who worked four innings, allowing Washington's two runs, while giving up four hits and striking out four.

The Sea Gulls will play for the fourth-straight day tomorrow, as they begin a stretch of three consecutive road contests, traveling to Newport News, Va., to take on The Apprentice School, beginning at 2 p.m.
