Cabrera, Crawford Lead Claws to 6th Straight Win, 6-1 Over Wilmington

JERSEY SHORE, NJ - Jean Cabrera threw seven innings for the second straight start, allowing just one run, as the BlueClaws topped Wilmington 6-1 for their sixth straight win. Justin Crawford had four hits in the win, scoring two of the BlueClaws six runs.

With the win, Jersey Shore has won six in a row and gets to 15-13 on the season while Wilmington falls to 15-11.

The BlueClaws jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 4th inning on a two-run single from Leandro Pineda.

Justin Crawford added an RBI single in the bottom of the fifth - his third hit of the game - to push the lead to 3-0. Bryan Rincon followed with a two run single for a 5-0 Jersey Shore lead.

Branden Boissiere homered for Wilmington, his second of the year, off Cabrera in the seventh, the lone blemish on an otherwise stellar outing.
