No. 25 Softball posts Sunday split in Raleigh Triangle Classic

RALEIGH, N.C. - The No. 25 Salisbury University softball program earned a Sunday split on the final day of the Raleigh Triangle Classic, Sunday afternoon at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex. The Sea Gulls took care of the Meredith Avenging Angels 6-3 in game one before falling to North Carolina Wesleyan University 6-3 in game two.

Salisbury used a late offensive push to secure the game one win over Meredith. The game was tied 1-1 through the first three innings of action. The Sea Gulls earned their run in the bottom of the first with Sam Flowers leading off with a walk and coming around to score on an error. The Avenging Angels score their run in the top of the third to tie the game.

SU tallied two runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 3-1 lead after Grace Couch scored on a wild pitch and Avery Cozzi earned an RBI single, scoring Alayna Gigliotti, who singled earlier in the inning. The Avenging Angels answered quickly in the top of the fifth with two runs to tie the game.

The tie did not last long as Salisbury matched Meredith with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to regain the lead and added one more in the sixth for insurance. Flowers and Camille Jones both tallied hits and would come around to score on a two RBI double from Karlie Wolfe. Flowers also earned the RBI in the sixth, scoring Savannah Reedy, who singled to begin the inning.

Madison McGinnis earned the victory in the circle for the Sea Gulls with five strikeouts, while only allowing three earned runs on four hits.

Game two of the day for SU was a dog fight against the Battling Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan.

Merry Pavlik earned a walk to get the rally started and would come around to score off a Morgan Moxley doubled to left field. Flowers earned an RBI off a walk with the bases loaded.

The teams continued to go back and forth as the Battling Bishops tied things up in the fourth.
