Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release
WALDORF, Md. - The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs faced-off against the Camden Riversharks at Campbell's Field in Camden, NJ. Getting the ball for the Blue Crabs was left-handed pitcher Wade Korpi. In his only previous start against the "ÃËsharks this season, Korpi tamed the "ÃËsharks, allowing no runs in five innings of work to pick up the "W". The Riversharks countered with a righty of their own in Jake Hale (3-4, 4.26). The Crabs would jump in front first but the Riversharks would explode for five in the fifth and hold on for the 5-4 victory.
After receiving dominant pitching over the last handful of starts, the Blue Crabs were looking to get their offense going early against the Riversharks Friday. Left-fielder, Brian Barton, would come through with his second homerun of the season in the second inning to give the Blue Crabs the early 1-0 lead.
The lead would not last however as the Riversharks would storm back in a big way in the fifth inning, scoring five runs on six hits. The inning was highlighted by a Burt Reynolds home run and a Wilson Valdez 2-RBI double. The Blue Crabs would fight back late with three runs in the final two frames but it wouldn't be enough as the Riversharks would hold on to the 5-4 victory.
UP NEXT - The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs will try to bounce back against the Riversharks Saturday at 5:35pm. Manager, Patrick Osborn, will call upon another lefty in Logan Williamson in hopes that he can have success similar to his last outing in which carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning against the Bridgeport Bluefish.
