SALISBURY, Md. – The second-ranked Salisbury University Sea Gulls baseball team staged a thrilling comeback attempt but fell just one run short, dropping an 8-7 decision to the Messiah Falcons on Tuesday at Donnie Williams Sea Gull Baseball Stadium.
Facing a five-run deficit heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, the Sea Gulls mounted an impressive rally by plating four runs in their final at-bat. However, the team was unable to score the crucial tying run that would have sent the game into extra innings.
The loss came despite the dramatic late-inning surge that brought the home crowd to its feet as Salisbury nearly pulled off what would have been a remarkable comeback victory against the visiting Falcons.
