Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's baseball team traveled to #17 Salisbury on Wednesday afternoon, falling 4-2 to the host Sea Gulls.  The Saints slip to 6-23 on the season and 0-13 in CAC play.

The Blue and White procured only three hits in the loss, each coming from a different Saint. Senior Macon Heikes continued his consistency at the plate, extending his team-leading hit streak to 12 games with a base knock in the first inning.

The Marymount offense wasted no time, jumping on the Sea Gulls right away in the opening frame.  Karlis Graubics led off the contest with a single up the middle and would be moved methodically around the bases by his teammates.  Graubics swiped second base on his own, but used a Lorenzo Calderon sacrifice bunt to advance to third.  Anthony Perretti followed with a grounder to shortstop, which proved just enough to bring Graubics safely in to score. 

Salisbury answered back in its half of the third, using a trio of singles to plate the equalizer.  The Sea Gulls went on to take the lead in the fifth, pushing across another lone strike on two walks, a single and a sacrifice fly.

Faced with a 2-1 deficit heading into the seventh, the Saints struck back to knot the score at 2-2.  Marymount's third and final hit was laced up the middle, courtesy of rookie shortstop Sean Gallagher.  Gallagher took second base himself and then moved over to third on a Jack Breheny sacrifice bunt.  A timely pitch in the dirt and subsequent ricochet allowed Gallagher to cross the plate easily.

The Salisbury offense, however, wasted no time breaking the short-lived stalemate.  The Sea Gulls used a Marymount error and a walk to set the table for Jordan Gowe, who sent a two-RBI double to left center to cap the day's scoring.

Marymount returns to action on Friday as it hosts CAC rival Penn State Harrisburg at 1 p.m.
