No. 13 Baseball wallops UMW, 11-1, on Senior Day

SALISBURY, Md. – The 13th-ranked Salisbury University baseball team celebrated Senior Day with arguably its most complete win of the season, walloping the Mary Washington Eagles 11-1 in seven innings to pick up a key Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) win on Saturday afternoon at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
 
The two sides traded blows in the first inning, with the Eagles' RBI single by Connor Hassan answered by the Sea Gulls' leadoff home run off the bat of Nathan Tondreault. SU kept things moving in the home first by stringing together a trio of singles, with a Griffin Shirk RBI knock putting the home side up 2-1.
 
Salisbury kept the foot on the gas in the second with a five-spot, started by a bases-loaded RBI fielder's choice by Trent Waire. Jackson Inman followed with a line drive three-run homer to left center, then two batters later Shirk lashed one to the same spot over the fence to make it 7-1.
 
Tondreault tagged another solo homer in the sixth, then in the seventh the Sea Gulls loaded the bases with no out to set up Jake Witter for a pinch-hit two-run single. Two batters later with the bases juiced again, Tondreault hit a grounder to first and came home for the force, but the UMW catcher dropped the ball and Max Ehrhardt touched the plate with the game-ending run, delivering SU its ninth mercy-rule dub of the season at 11-1.
 
GAME NOTES
  • Nathan Tondreault cracked two solo home runs as part of a 2-for-4 day with three RBIs. It marks his second multi-homer game of the season after he blasted a pair on Mar. 25 against Ursinus.
  • Jackson Inman finished 2-for-3 with his own three-run dinger and two runs scored. He and Tondreault are now tied for the team lead with eight dingers each.
  • Griffin Shirk went 2-for-3 with a solo big fly, two runs, and two rib-eyes.
  • Jay Newton batted 1-for-2 with a run and stole two bases, while Ethan Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
  • Aidan Brinsfield (6-3) was lights-out on the way to his third career complete-game victory, allowing one run on two hits with one walk and seven strikeouts on 74 pitches. Brinsfield didn't allow any hits after the second inning and at one point retired 16 Eagles in a row.
 
The Sea Gulls will play back-to-back home games on Tuesday and Wednesday before hitting the road for their next three. York (Pa.) comes to town on Tuesday with first pitch from Donnie Williams Stadium slated for 3:30 p.m.
