LAKEWOOD, NJ - Mike Yastrzemski had three hits including a pair of three-run triples as Delmarva scored 10 runs in the sixth and seventh innings to top the BlueClaws 11-2 on Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Park.

Yastrzemski's first three-run triple came in the sixth inning off Delvi Francisco and put Delmarva up 4-2.

Yacksel Rios hit Viele with a pitch with the bases loaded to score another, and Yastrzemski then added his second three-run triple of the game. He came home on an RBI single by Drew Dosch.

Francisco allowed six runs in 2/3 of an inning while Rios gave up two in 1.2 innings of relief.
