NOTABLES:
- Bela Bravo, Jema Bravo, Victoria Clower, and Brooke Tussinger each successfully hit in both games with the Bravo sisters leading the way with three hits each on the day.
- Mellissa Webb pushed her season strikeout total to 135, adding four more Ks today.
QUOTABLE:
""Although we didn't play as good as I know we are capable of playing, I was still proud of our performance today. Salem is a very good team, but we didn't hit the ball very well and made too many errors on defense,"" stated Wesleyan head coach Dickey Hightower. ""We need to string together several hits in a row and start producing more runs. We will continue to work on our hitting and are aiming to wrap up the No. 2 seed in the GSAC Tournament this week.""
UP NEXT:
Tuesday, April 19: Wesleyan vs. Emory University | Macon, GA | 5:00pm & 7:00pm
