Delmarva Shorebirds News Release


COLUMBIA, S.C.- After being held without a baserunner for the first five innings, the Delmarva Shorebirds woke up the bats in the second half of the game as they surged back for a 5-1 win against the Columbia Fireflies on Wednesday afternoon at Segra Park.

Fireflies (8-15) starter Noah Cameron was perfect for the first five innings against the Shorebirds (7-16), striking out seven, but ended up not factoring into the decision.

Columbia had a 1-0 lead when Cameron departed after five however as Rubendy Jaquez smacked a solo homer in the fourth, his first of the season.

Cameron was relieved after five frames and Isaac De León greeted the new arm Heribert Garcia with a solo homer, his first of the year, to start the sixth and tie the game at 1-1. Josué Cruz then walked and after a flyout, Luis Valdez swatted a two-run homer, his first of the year, to vault Delmarva ahead 3-1.

The Shorebirds tacked on insurance runs in the seventh and eighth thanks to a Cruz RBI single and Darell Hernaiz RBI double.

Jake Lyons (2-0) picked up his second straight win for Delmarva, firing three shutout innings while allowing two hits and three walks, striking out four.

Garcia (2-2) was hung with the loss for Columbia after allowing five runs on four hits and two walks in 2.1 frames.
