FAYETTEVILLE, NC: The Delmarva Shorebirds (32-51, 5-12) pulled even in their series against the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (43-39, 7-9) with a 3-1 victory on Wednesday night.
The Shorebirds pushed across the first run of the game with an RBI single by Edwin Amparo as Elis Cuevas scored to make it 1-0 Delmarva.

Evan Yates followed his first career quality start last week with another solid performance, pitching five innings and tying his career high with eight strikeouts.
It remained a 2-1 game into the ninth inning until the Shorebirds pushed across a crucial insurance run, courtesy of Yasmil Bucce, who drove home Elis Cuevas with an RBI single to put Delmarva in front 3-1.
That proved to be enough for Michael Caldon, who kept the Woodpeckers off the board in the final four innings, striking out four batters to complete a 3-1 victory for the Shorebirds.
Evan Yates (4-4) earned the win as the starting pitcher, with Michael Caldon (1) recording the final 12 outs to secure his first career save. Francisco Frias (2-5) was charged with the loss in relief for Fayetteville.
