FAYETTEVILLE, NC: The Delmarva Shorebirds (6-20) were defeated by the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (14-12) on Saturday by a score of 10-5.

It took just one pitch for Braylin Tavera to put the Shorebirds ahead as he hit a lead-off home run to start the game, marking his third homer of the series and fifth of the season. Yasmil Bucce followed with a long ball of his own, giving Delmarva a quick 2-0 lead after the back-to-back homers.

However, the Woodpeckers answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Max Holy and a wild pitch to make it a 2-2 game entering the second.

Fayetteville capitalized on a throwing error during a stolen base attempt to take a 3-2 lead in the second inning.

Delmarva countered in the third inning with a two-out, RBI single by Maikol Hernandez that brought Braylin Tavera home, tying the score at 3-3.

The Shorebirds took the lead in the fourth on a run-scoring single from Andrés Nolaya, putting Delmarva ahead 4-3.

In the fifth inning, Fayetteville erupted for five runs, thanks to an RBI double by Jancel Villaroel, a run-scoring single by Esmil Valencia, and a bases-clearing double by Justin Trimble, which left the Shorebirds trailing 8-4.

The Woodpeckers pushed two runs across in the eighth inning to extend their lead to 10-4.

Andrés Nolaya drove Alfredo Velasquez home with an RBI single in the ninth, but it was not enough, as the Woodpeckers won 10-5.

Rafael Gonzalez (2-2) earned the win for Fayetteville with Bryan Bautista (0-1) taking the loss for the Shorebirds.
