If Salisbury was feeling good fresh off their 18-0 takedown of Thomasville last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. Salisbury lost 22-11 to the East Davidson Golden Eagles on Friday. Hornets fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against the Golden Eagles since on Friday.
Salisbury saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Allison Peeler, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Another was Tijah Sims, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.
Even though they lost, Salisbury always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .545. This was only their first loss (out of five games) when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Salisbury has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-4 record this season. East Davidson's win ended a five-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-3.
