SU baseball cruises past Virginia Wesleyan for 8th straight win

In the bottom of the 2md, a solo shot from SU freshman Noah Burroughs cut the lead in half at 2-1.

It was the bottom of the 4th when the floodgates opened for the Salisbury offense. Salisbury scored five runs in the inning, highlighted by a three-run homer from Max Ehrhardt.

The Seagulls followed their big 4th inning with an even bigger one in the 5th. Lead by a pair of two-run home runs from Danny Sheeler and Noah Burroughs.

Burroughs finished the game 2-for-3 with 2 HR, 3 RBI, 1BB, and 3 runs scored.

After the game, Burroughs talked about his day at the plate and the Seagulls’ current eight-game win streak, saying, “Just trying to hunt fastballs, got into some deep counts. They were just hanging me good pitches so I just took advantage of them…I think we’re all just very resilient, we get knocked down, we come back even harder. Everybody on the team is really locked, I think we’re gonna do something special.”

Salisbury baseball moves to 24-5 with the win, with a conference bout versus Mary Washington scheduled for Saturday at 2 pm at Donnie Williams Seagull Baseball Stadium.
