Salisbury picked up its first two wins of the season in a doubleheader sweep against CAC opponent St. Mary's (Md.) at the Salisbury Baseball Field. The Sea Gulls (2-1) shut out St. Mary's, 4-0, in the first game behind the no-hit pitching of junior Dustin Herbert. Herbert pitched a seven-inning complete game, striking out seven batters and only giving up two walks. The no-hitter is the first of Herbert's career, with his top performances previously being four innings of no-hit baseball against Gallaudet last season and a complete-game, one-hit performance on April 2, 2008 against St. Mary's. Salisbury exploded for all four of its runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. The big inning was led by Andrew Miller and Mike Celenza who both singled to drive in Salisbury's first three runs. Celenza's single drove in two of the runs. Ryan Smith chipped in with an RBI double to give the Gulls their 4-0 lead that would last for the rest of the game.:fsv:right:box: The Seahawks (0-2) found more offense in the second game, but Salisbury still came out victorious, 4-3. The Sea Gulls scored three runs in the bottom of the third inning thanks to a wild pitch and a pass ball that each allowed one run to cross the plate. Bill Morton singled to drive in the other run in the inning. What would turn out to be the winning run of the game came off of a solo homerun by junior Devon Quaglietta in the bottom of the fifth. St. Mary's would try to battle back with a two-run homerun in the top of the sixth to bring the score to 4-3. However, Mark Peterson would hold off the Seahawks to earn his first save of the year in two innings of work. Peterson struck out three and gave up one hit. Andrew Levy pitched four innings, giving up only one run on three hits and four strikeouts to pick up his first collegiate win.
