LYNCHBURG, VA - The Delmarva Shorebirds managed to outlast the Lynchburg Hillcats for a 7-1 victory on Friday night at the Bank of the James Stadium.

The Shorebirds (48-40) jumped on the board first against the Hillcats (44-44) prior to the rain halting play.

Just two batters in, Mason Janvrin belted a solo homer for Delmarva, his ninth of the season, to start the scoring.

In the third, Delmarva loaded the bases with nobody out before plating two runs on back-to-back RBI groundouts from TT Bowens and Cristopher Cespedes to make it 3-0.

Rain stopped play at the end of the top of the third and resumed roughly two hours later.

Lynchburg was the first to strike post delay thanks to an RBI single from Angel Martinez that glanced off the second base bag in the bottom of the fifth.

The Shorebirds got that run right back in the top of the sixth with an RBI single from Logan Michaels.

Delmarva plated two more in the seventh on an RBI double from Bowens and RBI single from Cespedes before Cespedes wrapped the scoring with a RBI double in the ninth to make it 7-1.

Nick Roth (1-2) earned the win in relief for Delmarva. Roth went three innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk, striking out three.
