FREDERICKSBURG, VA: The Delmarva Shorebirds (21-33) suffered their second consecutive defeat to the Fredericksburg Nationals (23-30) on Thursday, falling 5-4.
The Shorebirds fell behind early as the Fred Nats scored twice in the first inning on an RBI triple by Jorgelys Mota and a sacrifice fly by Nate Rombach, making it 2-0 Fredericksburg after one inning.
After four scoreless innings from Fredericksburg starter Angel Roman, the Shorebirds finally broke through by scoring four times in the fifth inning with four two-out hits. It began with Colin Tuft, who drove in two runs with a single as Edrei Campos and Raylin Ramos crossed the plate. Edwin Amparo brought Tuft home with a ground ball that led to an error, giving Delmarva a 3-2 lead. Elis Cuevas capped the inning with an RBI double, bringing Amparo home from first base and putting the Shorebirds ahead 4-2.

Merritt Beeker (1-2) was the winning pitcher in relief, while Simon Leandro (2-2) took the loss for Delmarva. Robert Cranz (4) earned the save for the second consecutive night.
