The third game of the day got underway about three hours late due to a rain 
delay  following game one this morning. This game got started with hard 
drizzle  falling. Salisbury came out swinging, though, scoring two runs in 
the bottom of the first after the bases were loaded on a balk, a walk, and an 
intentional walk. Kristy Shaffer singled up the middle to score the runs. The 
Sea Gulls continued to control the game in the bottom of the third with a 
three-run bomb by Leslie White to left field that gave Salisbury a 5-0 lead. 
Again, in the bottom of the fourth, Salisbury loaded the bases on a bunt from 
Gentilella, a Kate Garland walk, and a Rosie Aley base hit to center field.
 Kristy Shaffer walked in the Sea Gulls' sixth run, but Salisbury left three 
stranded in  the bottom of the fourth after Central's left fielder Holly 
Edwards caught a long fly ball hit by Leslie White. Not only were the 
Salisbury bats hot, but the team's defense was outstanding. In the sixth 
inning, Central's Bri Kuyper hit a hit pop up between the mound  and the 
circle that was caught by Kim Rememter in a diving catch that looked like 
the ball would bounce out of her glove. She immediately popped up and put out 
the runner at first  for a double play. Lacey Lister took Central down in 
three in the top of the seventh to end the game. The most runs Central has 
allowed all season is four. Salisbury will play Sunday at 5 p.m. against 
Emory or Illinois Wesleyan. Central advances to the elimination bracket and 
will play Wartburg at noon on Sunday.  
CENTRAL HEAD COACH GEORGE WARES ON PLAYING SALISBURY:  "They kicked our 
butts. They played very, very well. Tonight they were clearly better than us. 
We probably were shell shocked."
 
WARES ON MILLER'S TWO ILLEGAL PITCHES THAT GOT HER YANKED 
after just four pitches: "She's had this problem off and on her whole 
career. Maybe we pulled the trigger too soon. It's just one of those things." 
(Miller was officially called for her ball presentation; she put the ball in 
her glove, which the rules state is the official start of the pitch, then 
pulled it out to dry it off.)
 
LIBBY HYSELL ON COMING IN TO RELIEVE APRIL MILLER IN THE FIRST inning: "I was 
ready. I had been throwing before the game. I should have been  completely 
ready."
 
SALISBURY HEAD COACH MARGIE KNIGHT ON HOW THE TEAM PLAYED: "We did it all. 
We left a few too many runners on base (Salisbury left 10 runners stranded). 
Central is a super opponent. I felt we had to come out aggressive; Central is 
extremely aggressive and we've been aggressive all season."
 
LESLIE WHITE ON THE THREE-RUN HOMER THAT GAVE SALISBURY A 5-0 LEAD: "It felt 
great!"
 
CATCHER KIM REMENTER ON HER DIVING DOUBLE PLAY:  "The team was already very 
high and this just added to it. I just wanted to get up and get her out. 
Lacey and I work well together."
 
LACEY LISTER ON HER NINE STRIKEOUT GAME: "I'm nothing without my team. 
They are me and I am them. I'm never in a true comfort zone. I may not look 
nervous, but inside the butterflies are always moving."
