No. 7 Baseball sinks UMW, 7-4, for ninth straight win

SALISBURY, Md. – In one of its most anticipated matchups of the regular season, the seventh-ranked Salisbury University baseball team relied on early offense and a shutdown relief corps to sink the Mary Washington Eagles, 7-4, and win its ninth straight on Sunday afternoon at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
 
The Eagles struck in the top of the first inning on a two-out RBI double by Ty Lowe, but the Sea Gulls jabbed back with three in the bottom of the first. TJ Morris led off with a double and scored on a two-out RBI knock by Noah Burroughs, then Jackson Inman clubbed a two-run homer to right to put SU on top 3-1.
 
UMW drew even in the third, putting men on the corners with no out to set up another run-scoring two-sacker by Lowe. After a walk and a strikeout, Tommy Martinez legged out an RBI fielder's choice, scoring Bobby Ayscue to tie it up at 3-3.
 
The Sea Gulls inched back in front in the home third, though, as Andrew Kell brought home a run with a sac fly. Then in the fourth after loading the bases with two singles and an error, Danny Sheeler snuck a base hit through the right side, bringing home two and making it 6-3.
 
The Eagles scratched one across the plate in the fifth to get within 6-4, but the SU bullpen took over from there, with Aiden Hankins and Garrett Beaver teaming up to shut the visitors down for five frames. Salisbury tacked on one more in the eighth on a run-scoring double play, and Bryce Sterling nailed down the ninth, striking out two along the way to finalize the 7-4 margin.
 
GAME NOTES
  • Jackson Inman batted 2-for-4 with his sixth home run of the year and two RBIs.
  • TJ Morris finished 1-for-3 with a double and a run.
  • Danny Sheeler picked up two RBIs, while Noah Burroughs and Andrew Kell each drove in a run.
  • Roman March, Max Ehrhardt, and Cole Swift each managed two hits and a run from the bottom of the order.
  • Garrett Beaver (3-1) was awarded the win in relief with 3.2 innings of no-run, two-hit ball. Beaver walked none and struck out two.
  • Bryce Sterling recorded his sixth save of the year with a scoreless ninth and two Ks. Sterling now sits alone in fourth in single-season SU history and is one save back of Corey Willey (2003) for third.
  • Tyler Villa worked the first three innings in his start, allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and three punchouts on 64 pitches for the no-decision.
  • Aiden Hankins served as the bridge from Villa to Beaver, giving up just one run in 1.1 innings on the bump.
  • With the win, the Sea Gulls improve to 2-0 in Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) play and sit in first place in the league, with Mary Washington (1-1) in second and Christopher Newport (0-2) in third.
 
The Sea Gulls will hit the road for the next two games, starting with a Tuesday trip to Neumann to try and push the winning streak to double digits. First pitch from Aston, Pa., is slated for 3:30 p.m.
