SALISBURY, Md. – The fourth-ranked Salisbury University baseball team extended its winning streak to nine games with a 5-1 triumph over the McDaniel Green Terror on Wednesday afternoon at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Green Terror broke the ice in the top of the second inning. With two outs and the bases loaded after a walk and a pair of singles, Robert Weer tagged an RBI knock into left to score one and put McDaniel on top 1-0.
• The Sea Gulls countered thanks to a pair of mistakes in right field in the bottom of the second. Dylan Winebrenner tagged a single to right that Todd Calhoun let get by him, allowing Winebrenner to make it all the way to third. Two batters later, Zach Geesaman lofted a flyball to deep right that Calhoun dropped, allowing Winebrenner to score to tie it at 1-1.
• In the fourth, Danny Sheeler led off with a single, then two batters later Adam Tommer banged a triple off the wall in right center to plate Sheeler. After a walk and a strikeout, Andrew Kell laced a two-run double to left to boost the SU margin to 4-1.
• Salisbury tacked on one more in the fifth. With two down and men at the corners, Tommer hit a grounder to third that ate up Shea McKenna, allowing Tim Petrucelli to score and make it 5-1.
• McDaniel threatened to get back into it in the seventh and eighth, but Garrett Beaver shut it down and stranded two runners on base in each frame.
