LAKEWOOD, NJ - Trey Mancini drove in three runs and Delmarva, with just three hits, topped the BlueClaws 4-3 on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Park.
The BlueClaws (21-31) have lost four of their last five and Delmarva (30-22) has won four of five and improved to 4-1 against the BlueClaws this year.
Jimmy Yacabonis got the last six outs for his league-leading 13th save. The Matawan native and CBA product has thrown 20 scoreless innings on the season.
The BlueClaws took the lead with two runs in the third inning, with one scoring on a wild pitch and another on a Carlos Tocci SAC fly.
BlueClaws starter Drew Anderson (3-4) retired the first nine hitters he faced but a walk and a hit batsman led to Mancini's RBI single to put Delmarva on the board in the fourth.
The Shorebirds, with the help of another walk and hit batsman, took the lead on Mancini's two-run single in the fifth to chase Anderson. Yacksel Rios gave up an unearned run in 2.1 innings of relief, and a BlueClaws run in the 7th on a Carlos Tocci bunt single brought the BlueClaws within 4-3 before Yacabonis shut the door.
