SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (48-73, 25-31) fell to the Salem Red Sox (65-57, 31-25) by a final of 7-2 on Wednesday night.
The Red Sox grabbed an early lead in the second with an RBI double by Andy Lugo, followed by a run-scoring single by Karim Ayubi to give Salem a 2-0 advantage.
Lugo pushed another run home for Salem in the fourth with a two-out RBI single to make it 3-0 Red Sox.
Two more runs scored for Salem in the sixth on a wild pitch and a bases-loaded walk to put Delmarva behind 5-0.
The Shorebirds scored their first run in the bottom half on an RBI groundout by Colin Tuft to make it a 5-1 game.
Franklin Arias extended Salem's lead in the eighth with a two-run homer to give the Red Sox a 7-1 edge.
