Softball Drops CAC Doubleheader at No. 17 Salisbury

Game 1 | Game 2

SALISBURY, Md. - Salisbury's Kelly Leary and Erika Brittingham held Stevenson scoreless over 14.0 innings while surrendering just three hits and striking out eight as the No. 17-ranked Sea Gulls swept a CAC doubleheader Saturday at SU Softball Field, 8-0 and 3-0.

The Mustangs (9-6, 1-4 CAC) have lost four-straight after posting the best start to a season in school history with nine wins in their first 11 games.

In the second game, Stevenson held the CAC's top hitting team and second-ranked scoring offense to just three runs after senior Sarah Moelter (Timonium/Dulaney) surrendered just one earned run on six hits.

However, the Mustang offense could muster just one hit against Brittingham who was just one out away from a no hitter before junior Jessica Bandzwolek (Fallston/Fallston) hit a double to center field for Stevenson's lone hit.

Bandzwolek finished the game 1-for-3.

Brittingham was only one hit and two walks from a perfect game as she faced just three batters over the minimum.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth when Salisbury scored two unearned runs with two outs following a fielding and throwing error.

The Sea Gulls added their third run on an RBI single in the sixth by Michelle Gravhadl who finished the game 2-for-3 with one RBI.

Leary improved her record to 9-0 on the season after allowing just two hits and striking out six in game one while the Salisbury offense totaled eight runs on 11 hits, highlighted by a three-run double from Kelly Waskewicz as part of a four-run fifth inning that invoked the mercy rule.

Waskewicz finished 1-for-3 with three RBIs while Ali Ritter was 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Ritter drove in the Sea Gulls' first two runs of the game with RBI singles in the first and third innings.

Freshmen Carianne Sullivan (Westminster/Westminster) and Sara DiMeglio (Spotswood, N.J./Spotswood) were the only two players to get a hit for Stevenson as Sullivan went 1-for-3 and DiMeglio was 1-for-2.

Junior Julianne Roper (Baltimore/Western Tech) suffered her first loss in her last five starts after allowing 11 hits and seven earned runs over four-and-two-thirds innings.

Stevenson travels to Wesley on Sunday for the completion of game two of a doubleheader from March 11. The Mustangs are leading 7-1 with two outs in the bottom of the fourth.

Stevenson will then host a non-conference doubleheader with Frostburg State on Monday beginning at 3:00 p.m., at Weinberg-Fine Stadium.
