The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs mashed their way to a 12-4 win to tie the series at a game apiece.

Southern Maryland opened the scoring in the first inning when Alejandro De Aza smacked a solo blast to right. It was his 11th bomb of the season and it gave the Crabs a 1-0 lead.

The Blue Crabs then scored four runs the third inning. After a leadoff single by Lyle Lin, Jackson Loftin drew a walk and Pearce Howard double to give the Crabs a 2-0 lead. A two-run double by De Aza and an RBI single by Brett Barrera soon made it 5-0.

In the fifth, De Aza smacked a two-run triple to center field to give the Crabs a 7-0 lead. Ethan Wilson then brought De Aza home with an RBI double to left. Jamari Baylor then blasted a two-run shot to centerfield to make 10-0. It was his 13th home run of the season. Giovanni Digiacomo made it 11-0 with an RBI double.

In the sixth, Digiacomo grounded out to second but brought a run home to extend Southern Maryland's lead to 12-0.

The Ferry Hawks would go on to score one in the sixth and three in the seventh, but the Crabs closed out the ballgame to secure a 12-4 victory.

Cael Chatham earned the win after three innings in relief, though her surrendered four runs on four hits and five walks. Jordan Carr tossed a scoreless frame where he struck out the side after giving up a leadoff shit before Cody Thompson got the final three outs in the ninth to cap off a Crabs victory.
