No. 7 Baseball blanks Stockton, 10-0 for fifth straight win

SALISBURY, Md. – The seventh-ranked Salisbury University baseball team barely broke a sweat to match its longest winning streak of the season, blanking the Stockton Ospreys 10-0 in eight innings on Thursday afternoon at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
 
The Sea Gulls opened the floodgates early with a four-run first inning. With men on the corners and one out, Jay Newton broke the ice with a perfect squeeze bunt. Then after back-to-back walks to load the bases, Griffin Shirk cleared them with a three-run double to right center, giving SU an early 4-0 advantage.
 
After SU tacked on another in the second on a run-scoring double play, Jay Newton doubled home a pair in the fourth to get it to 7-0. Salisbury added one each in the fifth and sixth on a Mickey Haynes squeeze play and Newton RBI single, respectively, to make it 9-0.
 
Salisbury needed just three batters in the eighth to hit the 10-run mark and trigger the mercy rule, with a Nathan Tondreault walk and Max Ehrhardt plunking setting up Jackson Inman for an RBI single to right, plating Tondreault to end the game at 10-0.
