No. 3 Softball sweeps No. 21 Rochester to open 2023

SALISBURY, Md. – The third-ranked Salisbury University softball team swept the 21st-ranked Rochester Yellowjackets in a doubleheader to open the 2023 season on Thursday.

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME 1
  • Emily Stockman opened the season's scoring in the bottom of the second inning with a two-run blast to left field.
  • Madi Lemon followed Stockman's homer with a double that rang off the top of the center-field wall. Sam Flowers brought Lemon home on an RBI triple to right center.
  • A batter later, Abby Mace sent a bomb over the center-field fence to extend the Sea Gull lead to 4-0 after two innings,
  • The Sea Gulls exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the third inning. Maddison Lednum led off the third with a homer to left field. Two batters later, Stockman knocked a single to center to plate McKenna Horner. After a bases-loaded walk that scored Ellen Stockman, Mace launched a grand slam over the left-center field fence that extended Salisbury's lead to 11-0.
  • Rochester got a run back in the fourth inning but it wasn't enough to overcome the run rule.
SALISBURY GAME NOTES – GAME 1
  • Six of Salisbury's 10 hits in the opener were extra-base hits, including four home runs.
  • Abby Mace showed no rust in the season opener with a pair of dingers, including the grand slam in the third inning.

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME 2
  • The nightcap was the opposite of the opener with a pitchers' duel between Salisbury's Lindsey Windsor and Rochester's Molly Broccolo.
  • Rochester looked to strike first in the third inning after a leadoff triple by Alexis Klee. Bailey Nicholoff blooped a single to left field looking to score Klee but Sam Flowers sent a frozen rope to the plate to nail Klee and keep the game scoreless.
  • The Yellowjackets did get a run across in the top of the fourth on a leadoff home run by Jenna Gorecki.
  • Salisbury stormed back in the bottom of the sixth to take the one-run lead. Jillian Dawson began the inning with an infield single and stole second base.
