SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (3-3) earned a pair of victories over the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (1-5) on Thursday as they swept the doubleheader by final scores of 4-1 and 5-0.
GAME 1
After a scoreless first two innings, Delmarva small-balled their way to the game's first run with a successful squeeze bunt by Andrés Nolaya as Alfredo Velasquez scored to make it 1-0.
Fayetteville answered in the third with an RBI double by Drew Brutcher with two outs, tying the game at one.
It remained 1-1 entering the fifth, but Delmarva broke through for three runs, starting with an RBI single by Fernando Peguero, followed by another squeeze bunt, this time by Raylin Ramos with Andrés Nolaya touching home, and Kevin Guerrero finished the inning with a run-scoring single to give the Shorebirds a 4-1 edge.
That would be enough for Delmarva as Carter Rustad kept the Woodpeckers off the board in the final two innings, closing out a 4-1 victory.
Coen Achen (1-0) was the winning pitcher in his first professional appearance by tossing four innings out of the bullpen while striking out six. Carter Rustad (1) earned his first career save by recording the final six outs, with Rafael Gonzalez (0-1) taking the loss for Fayetteville.
GAME 2
