Delmarva Shorebirds News Release


SALISBURY, MD - The Delmarva Shorebirds stopped their three-game skid in exceptional fashion, blanking the Kannapolis Intimidators 3-0 on Wednesday night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium.

Cameron Bishop (2-1) spun a six-inning gem for the Shorebirds (13-7), scattering five hits while walking one and striking out six. Travis Seabrooke then came in and kept the Intimidators (13-7) at bay for three innings, surrendering just a pair of singles and striking out four, to finish off Delmarva's league-best third team shutout of the season.

Parker Rigler (1-1) took the hard-luck loss for Kannapolis, allowing just an unearned run on three hits in six innings.

Delmarva opened the scoring in the bottom of the first. Kirvin Moesquit drew a leadoff walk, stole second base, and went to third when the throw from the catcher skidded into center. Zach Jarrett brought Moesquit home with a sac fly to right to make it 1-0.

Bishop danced out of trouble through the first six innings, stranding men on second and third in the fifth. His first and only 1-2-3 frame came in the sixth, punctuated by back-to-back strikeouts of Even Skoug and Tate Blackman to cap his fourth straight quality start to begin the season.

The Shorebirds backed Bishop with a run each in the seventh and eighth innings. Trevor Craport laced a single to right with one out in the seventh, then Ryan Ripken hit a grounder into the shift, moving up Craport. Jean Carrillo muscled one through the left side for a two-out hit, scoring Craport to double the lead.

In the eighth, Jarrett teed off for an opposite field line drive solo home run, his league-leading sixth of the year, to give the game its final margin.

Seabrooke never let a runner get past first base in his three quick innings.

Jarrett finished 1-for-3 with the homer, sac fly, and two RBIs to lead the Shorebirds at the plate. Moesquit went 1-for-3 with a run and two stolen bases, giving him an SAL-best 10 swiped bags. Craport finished 2-for-3 with a run.

Laz Rivera and Johan Cruz each had two hits for the Intimidators.

With the win, the Delmarva moves back into a first-place tie with Kannapolis atop the SAL Northern Division.

The Shorebirds will go for the outright division lead in the finale of their eight-game homestand on Thursday morning. Matthias Dietz (2-1, 4.91) answers the rooster against the Intimidators' Kade McClure (2-0, 2.22). First pitch is set for 10:35 a.m. with gates opening at 9:30. Thursday is both Maryland Pride Thursday and the second Field of Dreams game presented by Chesapeake Health Care. Pregame coverage on Fox Sports 960 AM and the MiLB First Pitch App begins at 10:20 with Will DeBoer on the call.
