SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 7 Salisbury University baseball team split its Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader against Stevenson University on Saturday afternoon at the SU Baseball Field. After falling in the opener, 6-4, the Sea Gulls bounced back to claim a 7-2 victory.

After missing out on chances in the first two innings of the second game and stranding five runners on base, the Sea Gulls got on the board in the bottom of the third. Sophomore Bill Morton (Newark, Del.) opened things up with a two-out single to center field before advancing to second on a wild pitch. Morton came home on a single up the middle by senior Chad Wolfe (Thurmont, Md.) for a 1-0 lead.

Salisbury (15-3, 9-1 CAC) would add two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and four in the sixth to put the game away. Morton and Wolfe each finished the game with two RBI.

Junior Kyle Judson (Gaithersburg, Md.) earned the win, limiting the Mustangs to just two runs, neither of which were earned, on three hits in 5 2/3 innings of work. He walked two and struck out seven.

In the first game, the Sea Gulls managed just five hits, with two coming off the bat of junior Brad Baylis (Pocomoke, Md.), who went 2-for-3 in the game and scored two of the Sea Gull runs.

Junior Nate Young (Washington Township, N.J.) took the loss. He worked 4 2/3 innings, allowing six runs (only two of which were earned), while striking out five Stevenson (13-6, 7-6 CAC) batters.

The Sea Gulls will be back in action on Sunday, when they host Ithaca College for one game, beginning at noon.
