SALISBURY, MD - Adam Hall had two hits including a home run while Ofelky Peralta threw five hitless innings as Delmarva topped the BlueClaws 3-1 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep of the BlueClaws.
Delmarva (6-1/54-22) improves to 10-1 against the BlueClaws (2-5/31-46) this season, with all 11 meetings so far in Salisbury. Lakewood was held to just one hit, a seventh inning home run by Ben Pelletier.
Hall homered leading off in the first off Francisco Morales (1-4) to give the Shorebirds a 1-0 lead. It was the third home run of the year for Hall, a South Atlantic League All-Star.
Morales came out after five innings, allowing one run on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts. He has allowed just six runs in his last 29 innings pitched.
Victor Santos came on in the sixth for the BlueClaws and gave up two runs including one on an RBI single by Hall.
Trailing 3-0, the BlueClaws got on the board in the seventh when Ben Pelletier took Jhon Peluffodeep on what was Lakewood's first hit of the game. Pelletier's home run was his team-leading seventh of the season and his 19th career home run.
Santos gave up one run in three innings of relief.
Peralta (5-2) earned his fifth win while Tyler Joyner got the last six outs for his eight save.
Lakewood was held to one hit for the first time this year after getting one-hit once last year.
The BlueClaws return home on Thursday to open a four-game series with Greensboro (Pirates). RHP Kevin Gowdy (0-4) starts the series opener for Lakewood.
