Salisbury, MD - The Delmarva Shorebirds held the Power to a pair of runs on just four hits during Sunday's game at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium as the Shorebirds earned their third straight victory 4-2 and handed West Virginia their third straight loss

Joe Nowicki scored the first run of the game with two outs in the bottom of the second. Pedro Silveren hit a ground ball down the first base line and a diving stop was made by Curt Rindal. Rindal flipped the ball to R.J. Seidel but Seidel couldn't handle the flip, allowing Nowicki to score. In the bottom of the third Tyler Henson smacked a one-out triple and scored on Joe Mahoney's sacrifice fly.

The Shorebirds took a 3-0 lead in the fourth when Silveren singled in Nowicki. West Virginia got on the board in the top of the fifth inning on Steffan Wilson's solo homerun. It was his second hit of the game and his fourth homer of the season. The Power cut the deficit to one in the top of the seventh. With runners at the corners and one out, Brent Brewer hit a ground ball to Delmarva shortstop Ryan Adams who tagged second for the force out but then threw the ball into the Power dugout which allowed Uly Snijders to score. Delmarva scored their final run in the eighth on Adams's RBI triple.

Luis Noel (2-0) surrendered just a run on three hits over five innings and struck out six to get the victory. R.J. Seidel (1-3) took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits over four innings. Brian Parker worked a scoreless ninth inning to get his first save of the season.

The Power fell to 11-19 with the loss and the Shorebirds improved to 17-13 with the win. Snijders and Wilson both had multi-hit games for the Power and they were the only Power players that hit safely. Snijders went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and Wilson went 2-for-4 as well with a base hit and a homer.

The Power will continue the four game series with the Delmarva Shorebirds at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium on Monday night. Right-Hander Amaury Rivas (2-1, 3.33) will get the start for the Power and the Shorebirds will counter with left hander Tony Butler (1-1, 3.41). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
