A pair of Blue Crabs insurance runs in the top of the top of the eighth inning gave the pitching staff some breathing room. Dario Pizzano knocked in his league leading sixth and seventh RBI of the season in the frame to extend the lead.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Southern Maryland's closer, Mat Latos ,(S,1) made his first appearance of the season, and secured the series split. The Blue Crabs head to Lexington next for a three game series with the Legends before their home opener on Friday, June 4th.
