The Shorebirds got things going with a run in the second and added a pair of tallies in the fourth inning highlighted by an Angel Tejada RBI double and a 3-0 lead.

Delmarva added to their lead with three more runs in the fifth on a based loaded walk and a two-run double from Maikol Hernandez and a 6-0 advantage.

The final runs came in the seventh on an RBI double off the bat of Austin Overn and a base loaded balk for the final 8-0 margin.
