Delmarva Shorebirds News Release
NORTH AUGUSTA, SC: The Delmarva Shorebirds (19-35) earned their second consecutive win over the Augusta GreenJackets (30-24) on Thursday, winning 4-2.
The Shorebirds took the lead in the opening inning for the second night in a row, with an RBI groundout from DJ Layton scoring Stiven Martinez, making it 1-0.
Delmarva extended their lead to 2-0 in the fifth on a two-out, RBI double by Jose Perez to score Juan Ortega.
The Shorebirds held their 2-0 lead into the eighth until Tate Southisene ended the shutout bid with an RBI single, making it 2-1 and putting the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first. However, Kailen Hamson retired the next three batters to keep Delmarva in front, 2-1.
In the ninth, Edwin Amparo (4) provided two crucial insurance runs with a two-run homer over the right field fence, his second home run in as many days, giving the Shorebirds their largest lead at 4-1.
That long ball proved important when Nick Montgomery (4) hit a solo home run in the bottom of the inning, making it a 4-2 game. That's as close as the GreenJackets would get, as Kenny Leiner struck out Joe Olsavsky, the tying run, to end the game, giving the Shorebirds their second consecutive win, 4-2.
Kailen Hamson (3-3) earned the win with 3.2 innings of relief, while Kenny Leiner (1) recorded his first save of the season. Derek Vartanian (1-3) took the loss as Augusta's starter.
The Shorebirds will try to make it three in a row on Friday, with Stephen Still taking the mound against Briggs McKenzie for Augusta. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
