UMW Softball Falls to Salisbury, York in CAC Tournament

The University of Mary Washington softball team was defeated by Salisbury University and York College on Friday afternoon in the CAC tournament in Salisbury, Md. UMW lost to Salisbury 7-1, and then fell to York 6-0. The Eagles finish the season 16-23-1.

Salisbury tallied three runs in the sixth to take a 7-0 lead heading into the seventh. In the seventh, Raven Oten led off the inning with a single and then stole second base. After Kassie Bender walked, Rachel Porchie grounded into a fielder's choice to the pitcher that put runners on second and third. Daylah Sawyer pinch hit for the Eagles and brought home an RBI to get UMW on the board, but that was all they could bring across.

Caroline Callahan recorded two hits in the first game for the Eagles.

York got on the board early in the second game as they scored one run in the first inning. The Spartans went up 2-0 in the second inning on a double. In the seventh inning York added four more runs to take a 6-0 lead.
