JERSEY SHORE, NJ - Nick Ward had two hits including a home run and the BlueClaws topped Greensboro 6-2 on Wednesday night at ShoreTown Ballpark.
Jersey Shore (2-3) and Greensboro (3-2) have now split the first two games of their six game series.
The BlueClaws scored four times in the second inning to take the lead. Arturo De Freitas was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to open the scoring. Wilfredo Flores then singled in a run and Nick Ward did the same. Hao Yu Lee's SAC fly made it 4-0 Jersey Shore.
Meanwhile, Rafael Marcano cruised through the first three innings, retiring the first nine he faced.
