Delmarva Held to Three Hits in Defeat
SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (34-54, 7-15) returned from the All-Star break on Friday night and were defeated by the Carolina Mudcats (49-35, 13-7), 3-0.
The game began as a pitcher's duel, with Evan Yates pitching 3.2 scoreless innings for the Shorebirds and recording four strikeouts, while his mound opponent, Travis Smith, also pitched five scoreless innings for the Mudcats, keeping the game tied 0-0 going into the sixth.
Carolina broke the stalemate in the sixth inning with two runs, thanks to run-scoring hits by Luis Pena and Eric Bitonti to take a 2-0 lead.
They pushed across another run in the seventh on a two-out, RBI single by Jesus Made to make it a 3-0 game.
