PREVIEW: Delmarva and Kannapolis meet in the final home series of the first half at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. The Shorebirds have played incredibly well at home this season, losing just one series in nine chances (and winning or splitting the last eight in a row). Delmarva comes into tonight's game having won four of the last five games and six of its last seven at home. Kannapolis has the worst record in the Sally League, but they are almost .500 on the road (compared to 10-25 at home). The Intimidators have lost five straight entering tonight. Since the Shorebirds opened the season with a 4-6 mark and lost two of the first three series, they have a series record of 10-3-2 over their last 15 sets, going 32-20 over that stretch.

TONIGHT'S OPPONENT: Left-hander Johnathan Frebis gets the ball for the Intimidators. Frebis had two strong starts against the Shorebirds in April, winning both games for half of his wins this season. Frebis played college baseball at Middle Tennessee State University, where he was selected in the 33rd round of the 2015 MLB First Year Player Draft. This evening's game marks his 29th professional appearance and his 13th career start.

LAST GAME QUICK HITS: The Shorebirds lashed four sharp singles in the first inning to tie the game at 1-1, before Ryan Mountcastle lifted the team to victory with his 2-run bomb in the fifth. Francisco Jimenez hurled his fourth quality start of the season and took his fifth win, while Garrett Cleavinger dominated in relief to earn his third save.

MILESTONE WIN: Last night's win was the 400th career managerial win for Shorebirds skipper Ryan Minor.
