Delmarva third baseman Jason Esposito and catcher Wynston Sawyer added two RBIS each for the Shorebirds (8-16 in the second half, 36-57 overall), while designated hitter Michael Ohlman and right fielder Brenden Webb drove in one RBI each.

Left fielder Trever Adams led Hickory (15-10 in the second half, 51-43 overall) with two RBIs on a 1-for-3 hitting performance at the plate. Designated hitter Zach Cone added an RBI in the loss.
