Kannapolis scored their first run in the fourth with a two-out RBI triple by Drake Logan, making it a 4-1 game.

Juan Rojas took over for Delmarva in the fifth and the lefty tossed three scoreless innings of his own to keep the score at 4-1 entering the eighth.

After a scoreless inning by Eddy Alberto, the Shorebirds pushed across an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth with a sacrifice fly by Cole Urman that scored Jake Cunningham, putting Delmarva back up four at 5-1.

A run scored in the ninth for Kannapolis on an RBI double by Javier Mora, but Eddy Albert kept the tying run in the on-deck circle as he secured the final outs to complete a 5-2 win for the Shorebirds.

Juan Rojas (1-1) earned the victory in relief with Jake Peppers (3-3) taking the loss for the Cannon Ballers. Eddy Alberto (1) picked up his save.
