SALISBURY, MD - After falling in an early 5-0 hole, the Delmarva Shorebirds rallied for a 9-7 victory over the Fredericksburg Nationals on Saturday night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium.

Despite the Shorebirds (63-50) win over the Nationals (40-73), Delmarva gained no ground in the playoff hunt thanks to Salem's victory over Lynchburg.

Jordy Barley doubled to begin the third and then moved to third on a flyout. He then scored on a groundout off the bat of Leandro Emiliani, with an error allowing Emiliani to reach base.

Connor Pavolony walked to begin the third for Delmarva before Reed Trimble reached on a bunt base hit. Two outs later, Connor Norby and Colton Cowser ripped back-to-back RBI singles to cut the deficit to 5-2.

The Shorebirds struck gold with two outs in the fourth. With two on, Darell Hernaiz dropped in a single to plate two before a Donta' Williams single and Norby walk loaded the bases. Cowser then stepped up and poked a bases clearing double into the leftfield corner, vaulting Delmarva ahead 7-5. Coby Mayo scored Cowser to cap the frame with an RBI double to make it 8-5

Mayo struck with another RBI double in the sixth, plating Cowser again after he had singled and stole second.

Fredericksburg pushed across a run in the ninth on an infield single, but Rickey Ramirez punched out Jaden Fein to strand the bases loaded and preserve the 9-7 win for Delmarva.

Gregori Vasquez (3-0) picked up the win in relief for Delmarva. He went 2.1 frames, allowing one run on three hits, striking out one.

Michael Cuevas (1-8) suffered the loss for the FredNats, allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks, striking out five.
