SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (2-14) were shut out for the second consecutive game by the Fredericksburg Nationals (11-6), falling on Wednesday night by a score of 6-0.
After a scoreless first three innings, Fredericksburg broke the stalemate with an RBI single by Armando Cruz to score Brandon Pimentel to make it 1-0 Nationals.

One final run came home on a wild pitch to put the Shorebirds in a 4-0 hole.
Jacob Cravey would help the Shorebirds keep the deficit at four by tossing 3.2 shut-out innings, keeping it a 4-0 game into the ninth.
However, the Nationals would add two more runs in the ninth on a two-run double by Brandon Pimentel to make it a 6-0 game.
Delmarva's offense was blanked by Fredericksburg pitching as Bryan Sanchez, Mikey Tepper, and Merrick Baldo combined to shut out the Shorebirds by a final of 6-0 for the second game in a row.
Reliever Mikey Tepper (1-0) earned the win with starting pitcher Trey Gibson (0-2) taking the loss for the Shorebirds.
