However, the Shorebirds' offense broke through in the sixth as Elis Cuevas put them on the board with a two-out RBI single. Luis Almeyda increased the lead to 3-0 with a two-run double one batter later. Braylin Tavera dropped a single into right-center moments afterward to bring two more runs home. Colin Tuft finished the inning with an RBI triple, scoring Tavera from first to give Delmarva a 6-0 lead.
The bullpen for the Shorebirds continued the success of their starter as Andy Fabian, Jared Beck, and Luis Beltran combined to blank the Hillcats over the final four innings, completing a one-hit shutout for Delmarvas as they secured a 6-0 win.
