FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Salisbury University’s baseball team demonstrated incredible resilience once again, overcoming a deficit in their final turn at bat to defeat Mary Washington 4-3 in a nail-biting 10-inning championship game Saturday at Dickinson Stadium.
The nationally seventh-ranked Sea Gulls, seeded second in the tournament, faced elimination against the tournament’s top seed but managed to pull off their second consecutive come-from-behind victory in as many days during the 2026 Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference Tournament finale.
This championship marks Salisbury’s fifth conference crown in the past six seasons and represents the 20th conference title in the program’s storied history. The victory extends the team’s current winning streak to an impressive 12 games as they prepare for next week’s NCAA Division III Tournament competition.
The Sea Gulls’ ability to perform under pressure was on full display as they once again found themselves trailing late in the game, only to mount another successful rally when it mattered most. This clutch performance continues a pattern that has defined their recent tournament run.
