Third-seeded Salisbury became the lone remaining unbeaten in the CAC Baseball Tournament after holding off second-seeded Marymount, 6-5, in game six of the double-elimination tournament on Thursday in Frostburg, Md. 

With the win, the Sea Gulls advance to the semifinal round, where they will meet a yet-to-be-determined opponent at 4 p.m. on Friday. The Saints, meanwhile, suffered their first loss of the tournament and will take on sixth-seeded Penn State Harrisburg in an elimination game, Friday's opener at 9 a.m. The winner of the Marymount/Penn State Harrisburg will take on Salisbury later in the afternoon. 

Penn State Harrisburg fell to fourth-seeded Wesley 10-6 in the middle of the three Thursday games, keeping Wesley alive in the tournament and giving the Lions their first loss. Wesley will meet top-seeded Frostburg State at 12:30 p.m on Friday in another elimination game. 

Frostburg State eliminated Christopher Newport 8-5 in Thursday's opening game. The Captains became the first of the six teams to be sent home from the tournament.
