Bullpen, timely hits lift SU over CNU
Salisbury, Md. - The Salisbury University baseball team completed the two-game season sweep of Christopher Newport University, 6-3, at Sea Gull Field. Salisbury won the previous meeting on February 20, 5-2.

The Sea Gulls (27-7) broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning when junior Mark Bostwick plated senior Alex Vitale (2-for-3, one RBI) on an RBI groundout to second base. SU then followed with a pair of RBI singles from catcher Pete Callahan and freshman Hunter Wessells to put the maroon and gold up 6-3. Wessells started the game off with a double down the left field line and later stole his fifth base of the season.

SU got contributions from freshman Mike Celenza who went 2-for-4 and ripped his 13th double of the season. Senior Andrew Jensen also added an RBI double to up his team-best RBI total (46).

Sea Gull bullpen pitcher Adam Keeling earned his second win of the season as he went three and a third innings and scattered three hits with no runs in relief work. Sophomore Eric Willey racked up the save for the Gulls.

CNU (23-16) out hit SU by three hits and received two-hit games from Michael Fawley, Trae Bailey and Mike Giarrizzi. The Captains also committed three errors which led to one Sea Gull run. Giarrizzi took the loss as he gave up six runs on seven hits and struck out five.

Salisbury will return to action at home on April 30 to take on Villa Julie in a 1:00 pm doubleheader.
