Wilson responded in the top of the fourth by scoring twice to take their largest lead of the day, with RBIs from Brady Ebel and Frederi Montero giving them a 5-1 advantage.
The Shorebirds attempted to chip in the sixth, as Jordan Sanchez connected for his second home run of the season, making it a 5-2 game. It was his third of what would be a four-hit day for Sanchez, tying his career-high.
In the eighth, Luis Almeyda pulled Delmarva within two with an RBI groundout, as DJ Layton scored to make it 5-3.
