Shorebirds Fall Late To Tourists

The Shorebirds fell Wednesday night in their home stand opener to the Tourists 9-5. The loss drops Delmarva to 15-10 on the year. 

The Tourists would come out swinging, and quickly build up a 5-0 lead. John Means would have a tough outing for Delmarva, lasting just 4 innings while giving up 5 earned off 6 hits. The bats would come alive for the Shorebirds though as they fought their way back into the game. Riley Palmer would steal 3rd, and then a throwing error would allow him to score the Shorebirds first run of the game. Then in the 6th, they would get even closer after a Jamill Moquete RBI single. Delmarva would fight all the way back to tie the game up at 5-5, but the Tourist would have the last laugh. They plated 4 runs in the 8th to close out the game.

The teams return to action tomorrow for game 2 of the series, with first pitch at 7.
