NOTEWORTHY

• Nick Callano closed out the game, entering in the eighth inning. It was his third appearance this season.
• Salve Regina had 4 runs on 8 hits.
• It was not an error free encounter. Salve Regina had two errors while Webster committed three errors.
• The game concluded in just under two hours.
• Gorlock starting pitcher Ryan Greifelt receives the loss, putting him at 2-2 this season. His outing lasted six innings.

"A plus performance from Brayden for 7 innings and then Nick to close the door. We came out pretty focused and pushed a run across but then kind of hit a wall until Shea had the swing of the day. That really gave us some breathing room and gave the pitchers the ability to not have to be perfect. We made some plays when we needed to and it was enough against a really good team and a well coached team. Hats off to Brayden on really picking us up."
