SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 6 Salisbury University baseball team defeated Catholic University of America on Monday 9-3. The Sea Gulls took advantage of five Cardinal errors in the game as it only took seven hits to bring home the runs.

Salisbury (19-4) jumped out to a big lead early as it scored seven of its nine runs in the first four innings. A wild pitch and three Catholic (12-5) errors allowed four of Salisbury's first five runs in the first two innings.

Senior Mike Celenza (Gaithersburg, Md.) drove in the game's first run when junior Andrew Miller (Schwenksville, Pa.) scored on a Celenza groundout. Miller walked to start the inning and reached third on a double by junior Brad Baylis (Pocomoke, Md.). Baylis had two doubles on the day and was joined by junior Devon Quaglietta (Monroe Township, N.J.) (two hits) as the only two Sea Gulls with multiple hits.

Celenza led the team with three RBI. He finished the day with one run and one hit, as well. Quaglietta, Baylis and senior Ryan Smith (Waldorf, Md.) combined to drive in the rest of the Sea Gull runs. Quaglietta had two RBI while Baylis and Smith both had one. 

Miller and Baylis led the team as they each scored three runs.

Freshman Andrew Levy (Hampstead, Md.) earned the start and picked up his third win of the season. He pitched six innings giving up three runs (one earned) on five hits and striking out seven batters.
