TJ White doubled to lead off the top of the second against Ben Hess and scored three batters later on an RBI triple by Caleb Farmer.
In the third Caleb Lomavita doubled and Brandon Pimentel reached on a fielder’s choice to put runners at first and third.

Pimentel later scored on a Gavin Dugas fielder’s choice groundout to make it 4-3.
Wilmington brought in three runs in the fifth to take the lead. Lomavita singled, White walked, and Dugas singled to load the bases. A bases-loaded walk to Armando Cruz forced in Lomavita, before Brenner Cox notched a two-run double to put the Blue Rocks ahead 6-4.
Avina led off the sixth with a double, and Castillo drove him in two batters later with a single to cut the deficit to 6-5. Castillo was 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
