Shorebirds Slug Three Home Runs to Beat Woodpeckers in Series Finale

Fayetteville Woodpeckers News Release


FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Fayetteville Woodpeckers (14-13) could not keep pace with the Delmarva Shorebirds (7-20) as the visitors hit three two-run home runs to take the series finale 8-4.

Early on, however, the 'Peckers provided the power swings. After falling behind 1-0, Caden Powell crushed a two-run home run, his fourth of the series, to give Fayetteville a 2-1 lead in the first inning.

Two frames later, the Shorebirds struck back. They powered for four runs in the top of the third on two two-run home runs to pull back in front 5-2.

From that point forward, Twine Palmer emerged from the Fayetteville bullpen to quiet the Delmarva bats, providing a platform to mount a comeback. A Justin Trimble RBI single and wild pitch plated two runs in the bottom of the sixth, pulling the Woodpeckers back to within one at 5-4.

However, Delmarva's offense stepped up once again in the top of the eighth to put the game out of reach. An RBI double and their third two-run home run produced three runs, lifting the Shorebirds to victory.

Fayetteville has a day off tomorrow before returning to Segra Stadium on Tuesday to open a six-game set against the Salem Red Sox. The series begins with Tacos & Tallboys Tuesday presented by Foxy 99 as fans can enjoy $2 tacos near the Cantina Cart as well as $4 Corona and Modelo tallboys.
