LYNCHBURG, VA: The Delmarva Shorebirds (3-3) took one on the chin on Friday night as they were soundly defeated by the Lynchburg Hillcats (4-2) 13-0.

The Hillcats produced the first run of the game in the opening inning on an RBI triple by Zac Fascia to make it 1-0 after an inning.

They produced another single tally in the third on an RBI double by Jose Devers to put the Shorebirds behind 2-0.

Lynchburg added to their lead with two runs in the fourth on RBIs by Angel Zarate and Juan Benjamin. Two more came home in the next inning on an RBI triple by Pres Cavenaugh followed by a sacrifice fly by Marc Filia to give the Hillcats a 6-0 lead after four.
