SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (41-69, 18-27) earned their first victory over the Carolina Mudcats (66-43, 25-19) on Thursday as they shut them out by a final of 8-0.

In the fourth, the Shorebirds added to their lead as Ryan Stafford scored on a wild pitch. Moments later, Angel Tejada drove home Colin Tuft with an RBI double to give Delmarva a 3-0 advantage.
The lead doubled in the next inning as Braylin Tavera picked up an RBI on a bases-loaded walk. Maikol Hernandez followed him with a two-run double to push the Shorebirds' lead to 6-0.
