Salisbury sinks Shoremen for 8th straight victory
CHESTERTOWN, Md. - The No. 26 Salisbury University baseball team cruised to its eighth straight victory Thursday afternoon with an 8-0 shutout of Washington College in a non-conference game.

The Sea Gulls (8-1) opened up the game quickly as they built a 3-0 lead after the third inning. Hunter Wessells led off the game with a double to left field and later scored on an RBI sacrifice fly from Andrew Jensen.

The Sea Gulls added another run in the second as Mark Bostwick reached on a single and later scored on a Pete Callahan double.

The two runs would be more than enough for starting pitcher Dan Oleynik (3-0) who went seven strong innings, scattered five hits and struck out four.

Salisbury added insurance runs in the third inning as Jensen, the CAC Player of the Week, hit his first homerun of the season to give the Sea Gulls a 3-0 lead.

SU tacked on two more runs in the fifth inning, one in the seventh and two in the ninth to cap off the shutout.

Washington (0-1) had a multi-hit game from Brian Kramer who finished the contest 2-for-4.

The Sea Gulls return to action at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 3, as they host No. 10 Montclair State University in game one of the two-day series at Sea Gull Field.
