Delmarva Shorebirds News Release


SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (48-72, 25-30) began their final homestand of the regular season with a 5-2 win over the Salem Red Sox (64-57, 30-25).

Base runners were tough to come by for both clubs in the first half of the game as Delmarva starter, Ty Weatherly, threw 4 perfect innings to begin the night with his counterpart, Eduardo Rivera, tossing 4 shutout innings of his own with 8 strikeouts.

The Red Sox broke the stalemate in the fifth with a two-out, RBI single by Natanael Yuten, scoring Caden Rose to give Salem a 1-0 lead.

The Shorebirds countered in the bottom half as Ryan Stafford scored from third on a ground ball off the bat of Miguel Rodriguez, beating the throw to home to tie the game at one. Edwin Amparo gave Delmarva their first lead with a successful bunt down the third base line that plated Colin Tuft while Amparo reached safely at first. The Shorebirds continued their trickery, using a successful first-and-third steal to sneak another run home, making it 3-1. Austin Overn capped off the inning with a two-run homer, his first career long-ball gave Delmarva a 5-1 advantage.

Salem pushed a run across on a throwing error in the sixth to pull within three at 5-2.

That's as close as the Red Sox could get as Justin Showalter slammed the door by blanking Salem for the final three innings, securing a 5-2 win for the Shorebirds.

Ty Weatherly (2-3) picked up the win with Justin Showalter (1) earning his first save. Reliever, Trennor O'Donnell (3-6) was saddled with the loss.

Delmarva goes for a second-straight win over Salem on Wednesday with Eccel Correa getting the ball for the Shorebirds versus Luis Cohen for Salem. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
