SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (3-6) suffered their third-straight loss to the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (4-5) on Sunday as they fell in the finale 6-0.
The Shorebirds were behind early as Drew Brutcher put Fayetteville in the lead with a two-run single in the first inning. Two more runs scored later in the frame on a wild pitch and a bases-loaded walk to make it 4-0, Woodpeckers.

The Woodpeckers added two runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Drew Brutcher and an RBI single by Jason Schiavone to put the finishing touches on their second-straight 6-0 victory.
Reliever Ryan Smith (1-0) earned the victory for Fayetteville, with starting pitcher Sebastian Gongora (0-1) taking the loss for Delmarva.
