Wilmington got right back in the game in the bottom of the third as Dylan Lile doubled in two runs off Jersey Shore starter Mitch Neunborn (2-3) to tie the game. After a balk moved the runners up, Yohandy Morales' infield single gave the Blue Rocks their first lead of the game at 3-2.

The Blue Rocks added four more in the fourth inning. Brandon Boissiere doubled in a run to make it 4-2 off Mitch Neunborn. Jack Dallas came in and Morales hit a three-run, two-out double to give Wilmington a 7-2 lead. Neunborn was charged with five runs on five hits in three-plus innings. Dallas was charged with the final two runs of the five run Blue Rocks fourth.

Yasel Antuna doubled in a run off Dallas in the fifth. The right-hander came out after two innings of relief, allowing three runs on four hits.

Cole Moore, who joined the BlueClaws on Tuesday, homered in the ninth inning and had his first three Jersey Shore hits in the loss.

Cam Wynne threw two scoreless innings in relief for the BlueClaws.
