No. 7 Baseball throttles VWU, 13-2, for eighth straight

SALISBURY, Md. – The seventh-ranked Salisbury University baseball team belted four home runs on the way to a 13-2 seven-inning decision over the Virginia Wesleyan Marlins on Thursday afternoon at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
 
The Marlins landed the opening punch in the first inning, scoring twice on an RBI groundout and a run-scoring double by Joshua Jones. The Sea Gulls got one back in the second as Noah Burroughs tattooed a solo home run to left, cutting the deficit in half at 2-1.
 
SU ignited a five-spot to take the lead in the fourth. After loading the bases with nobody out, Jackson Inman walked to force in the tying run, and two batters later Andrew Kell brought home the go-ahead tally with a sac fly. Max Ehrhardt came up next and belted a three-run homer just left of center, boosting the home team's margin to 6-2.
 
Salisbury kept the balls flying in a seven-run fifth as Danny Sheeler and Burroughs each launched two-run shots, then with the bases loaded TJ Morris was plunked and Sheeler walked to force in two more, and Cole Swift scored on a wild pitch to make it 13-2.
 
Sea Gull starter Aidan Brinsfield settled down after the first and put up four zeroes before handing the ball to Shawn Rosemond and Ethan Hirschfeld¸ who coaxed the final six outs to trigger the 10-run rule and salt away SU's eighth win in a row.
 
GAME NOTES
  • Noah Burroughs went yard for the fourth and fifth times this season, finishing 2-for-3 with three runs and three RBIs.
  • Danny Sheeler cracked his sixth round-tripper of the year, going 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs, and three rib-eyes. Sheeler's 27th career blast gives him sole possession of fifth in Sea Gull history; he sits one shy of Jack Barry '19 for fourth.
  • Max Ehrhardt went 1-for-2 with his first dinger of the campaign, driving in three runs and scoring twice.
  • Aidan Brinsfield (3-0) put together a solid start for his third win, striking out a season-high eight batters over five innings of two-run, four-hit ball.
  • Shawn Rosemond and Ethan Hirschfeld tossed a clean sixth and seventh, respectively, to finish off the Marlins.
  • The Sea Gulls have now run-ruled opponents seven times this season, including six at home.
