C2C Semifinal - UMW wins - 10-5

In a win-or-go-home game, the Eagles were certainly up to the challenge after finishing the Sea Gulls with a six-run eighth inning to defeat Salisbury, 10-5.

The Eagles scored the first three runs in the third when Ryan Schwarz singled home George Rizzo, while Ty Lowe doubled a pair of runs home. The Sea Gulls scored a run in the bottom half, but then the Eagles scored another in the fourth to extend their lead, 4-1, as Rizzo singled home Tommy Martinez.

The Sea Gulls took the lead, 5-4, with a four-run fifth, but UMW completed the comeback with a six-run eighth.

Martinez got the scoring started with an RBI double that plated Lowe to tie the game at five before Burke Steifman's RBI single gave the Eagles a 6-5. George Rizzo added a run with a sac fly that scored Martinez. Then Schwarz doubled home Jacob Christenbury and Steifman to extend the lead, 9-5. And finally, Noah Roots capped the inning off with an RBI single.

Gavin Riley fared well in his five innings of work, yielding four earned runs (five total) in five innings, while striking out three. Connor Hassan, meanwhile, stole the show on the mound with four shutout innings out of the bullpen and struck out four to move to 2-2 on the season.

C2C Final - UMW falls - 16-0
