SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University softball team extended its win streak to 11-games with a pair of wins over Villa Julie, 7-1 and 3-2, Thursday afternoon at Sea Gull Field. With the win the Sea Gulls picked up their third sweep in as many days.

Freshman Kelly Waskewicz led off the inning with an infield single and later moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by fellow freshman Brittany Lounge. Lounged reached base as the throw from VJC pitcher Jessica O’Neill pulled first baseman Heather Taylor off the bag.

Waskewicz and Lounge each advanced a base on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Stacey Malarkey. After a four-pitch walk to senior Nichole Fuqua, Ritter ripped the game winner into right field to bring home Waskewicz.

Junior Kirsten Wells started the game for Salisbury but gave way to Davis in the sixth inning with the scored knotted at two.  Wells allowed six hits, two runs and struck out four. Davis scooped up her second win on the afternoon as she gave up two hits and struck out one in two innings of work.
