SALISBURY, MD - Jake Scheiner capped a three-run eighth inning with an RBI single and Addison Russ closed the door on Delmarva as the BlueClaws came back to earn a 4-3 win on Thursday night at Perdue Stadium.
Lakewood trailed 3-0 after one inning but got one in the sixth and three in the eighth. The BlueClaws (7-7) are now 3-1 against the Shorebirds (11-3) this year, while Delmarva is 10-0 against everyone but Lakewood.
After Travis Seabrook threw a scoreless seventh, the BlueClaws plated three in the eighth to take the lead. With two-on, Jhailyn Ortiz doubled in a run to put Lakewood on the board. Quincy Nieportetied the game with a SAC fly, setting up Jake Scheiner's go-ahead RBI double.

Luis Carrasco, who threw two scoreless innings in relief of Stewart, earned the win (1-0) while Delmarva's Travis Seabrook (0-1) took the loss.
Ortiz and Scheiner each had two hits for the BlueClaws.
