Michelle Gravdahl went 3-3 for Salisbury while Hannah Mills hit a grand slam. Erika Brittingham threw a complete game, allowing just one hit and two walks with six strikeouts.

The Hornets fell 4-1 in the nightcap. Amber Ingram, Taylor Walker, Phillips and Melanie Tenney each had hits for LC, while Ingram threw 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. SU's Rachel Johnson struck out 10 over seven innings to earn the win.
