Around the CAC
#3 Salisbury undefeated,
#17 Christopher Newport experiences tough start
WESLEY WOLVERINES are among three teams in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) who have played softball this season.
Here's what has happened so far to the other two...
● SALISBURY SEA GULLS, ranked #3 nationally (D3), are off, as everyone expected, winning their first four games played this past Saturday and Sunday, February 22, 23.
On Saturday, the Sea Gulls handily beat Neuman Knights 11-0 in five innings, recording all 12 outs by strikeout. In a second game, the N.C. Wesleyan Battling Bishops briefly posed a challenge, though Salisbury eventually triumphed 3-1, scoring all three runs on a pair of home runs.
Sunday, the Sea Gulls were back on the winning field again to deliver two more shutouts. First, the Roanoke Maroons fell 9-0 as Salisbury scored all their runs on nine hits. Next, William Peace Pacers lasted six innings with just three hits in the 8-0 Sea Gull triumph.
● CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT CAPTAINS, ranked #17 nationally (D3), started their season off with two losses to #10 ranked Virginia Wesleyan Marlins this past Sunday, Feb. 23, scoring just two runs total for both games. (Our Wesley Wolverines are scheduled to play the Marlins this Saturday at 4:00 PM in Virginia Beach, VA)
Yesterday, Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Captains turned their ship around with a convincing 9-1 victory over the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets through five frames in the doubleheader's opener. BUT the Yellow Jackets stung back 8-0 in the nightcap, stingily allowing two singles, no walks, and only one VA Captain over the minimum at the plate.
