SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (38-64, 11-25) were defeated by the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (54-47, 18-17) by a final score of 5-3 on Tuesday night.

The Woodpeckers extended their lead with another run-scoring single by Zach Daudet in the third inning, making it 4-0.

Delmarva cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the frame, scoring a two-out run on a successful first-and-third steal as Colin Tuft beat the throw to second while Edwin Amparo scored on the play. Andrew Tess brought a run home moments later with an RBI double to make it 4-2.

The Shorebirds made it a one-run game in the seventh when Adriander Mejia scored on a passed ball.
