SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds concluded Spring Training with a 9-9 tie Sunday afternoon at Perdue Stadium against the Orioles' Double-A affiliate, the Chesapeake Baysox.

Chesapeake took an early lead in the first inning thanks to Ethan Anderson, who drove in Aron Estrada and Thomas Sosa with a two-run double to make it 2-0 Baysox.

In the third, Anderson delivered again, this time with a solo home run to up the lead to 3-0 for Chesapeake.

Delmarva counterpunched in a big way in the bottom of the third, starting with an RBI groundout by Luis Almeyda to make it 3-1. DJ Layton then singled to add another run, trimming the deficit to 3-2.

Chesapeake fought back in the seventh by scoring two runs on a solo homer from Adam Retzbach and a run-scoring single by Aron Estrada, cutting Delmarva's lead to 8-6. It was Estrada's third hit of the day.

An inning later, the Baysox took the lead with a bases-loaded walk and a two-run single by Doug Hodo to go up 9-8.

The lead was short-lived for Chesapeake as Joshua Liranzo continued his big day with a home run in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at nine, his fourth hit and third RBI of the afternoon.
