SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University junior pitcher Lindsey Windsor was unhittable and threw the 53rd no-hitter in SU softball history as the second-ranked Sea Gulls began its annual three-day tournament with a doubleheader sweep over the Lynchburg Hornets on Friday. Windsor's no-hitter and a three-run first inning fueled Salisbury's 5-0 win in the opener before a seven-run first inning in the nightcap led to an 8-0 run-rule win in Game 2.
