She was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-2.

In other batting news, Dasmine Ambers and Addisyn Myers did most of the damage at the plate: Ambers scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2, while Myers went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs Ambers has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Layla Miller, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.

The victory was the third in a row for Salisbury, bringing their record up to 8-6. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Thomasville, they dropped their record down to 1-14 with the defeat, which was their 21st straight on the road dating back to last season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Salisbury will venture away from home to square off against West Davidson at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Thomasville, they will head out to take on Albemarle at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
