Following consecutive three-hit games, Ethan Anderson kept his bat hot as he tripled home Griff O'Ferrall in the fourth to give Delmarva the first lead of the game at 1-0. He scored moments later on an RBI single by Ryan Stafford, his first career RBI extended the Shorebirds' advantage to 2-0.

Blake Money kept the Shorebirds lead in-tact into the seventh inning as he dealt the longest outing of the season, going 5.2 innings out of the bullpen. The Mudcats tied the game right after he departed on a two-run single by Yophery Rodriguez to make it 2-2.

Carolina put the pressure on in the eighth, putting runners at first and second with two outs. Miguel Briceno gave the Mudcats their first lead on a groundball to second which resulted in an error by Edwin Amparo with two runs scoring on the play.
