Delmarva Shorebirds News Release


KANNAPOLIS, NC: The Delmarva Shorebirds (37-60, 10-21) topped the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers (46-52, 14-18) 4-2 in ten innings on Wednesday night.

The Shorebirds got a great start from Wellington Aracena in his organizational debut, as the former Mets' farmhand threw 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and one walk, putting together a stretch where he retired ten batters in a row.

His mound opponent, Justin Sinibaldi, was just as effective, striking out five in five shutout innings, keeping the game 0-0 entering the sixth.

Kannapolis ended the stalemate by scoring on a two-out error, as Caleb Bonemer crossed home plate on the play, putting the Cannon Ballers ahead 1-0.

Delmarva responded with two quick runs in the seventh, starting with Raylin Ramos, who tied the game with an RBI triple. He scored moments later on a groundout by Braylin Tavera to give the Shorebirds a 2-1 lead.

In the bottom half of the eighth, the Cannon Baller tied the game on a wild pitch. They then loaded the bases with nobody out, but Yeiber Cartaya navigated them out of trouble using a pair of strikeouts and a tremendous diving catch by Stiven Martinez to keep the bases loaded and the game tied at two.

After a scoreless ninth, the game went into extra innings, and the Shorebirds quickly took the lead in the tenth with an RBI double from Braylin Tavera. He scored shortly after on a single by Colin Tuft, giving Delmarva a 4-2 advantage.

Joe Glassey finished the job in the bottom half with a 1-2-3 inning, striking out Ronny Hernandez to end the game and secure a 4-2 victory in ten innings for the Shorebirds.

Joe Glassey (2-0) earned the win in relief with Jake Curtis (2-2) suffering the loss for Kannapolis.

The Shorebirds look to take the series lead on Thursday with Game 3 of the series scheduled for 7:05 PM.
