SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University’s softball squad faced a challenging afternoon Wednesday as they were swept in a doubleheader by the nation’s top-ranked Virginia Wesleyan Marlins at Margie Knight Sea Gull Softball Stadium.
The undefeated Marlins, who improved to 38-0 on the season, dominated the opening contest with a 9-0 shutout victory over the Sea Gulls. Virginia Wesleyan continued their offensive onslaught in the second game, mercy-ruling Salisbury 12-3 in just five innings.
The losses dropped Salisbury’s record to 18-12 as they continue their season against one of the most formidable programs in collegiate softball. The Sea Gulls faced the challenge of competing against a Virginia Wesleyan team that has yet to taste defeat this year.
