Shorebirds stop 'Claws

Harold Garcia led off the game with a home run Tuesday night for Lakewood, but the BlueClaws would not score again, losing a 2-1 decision to Delmarva. Rob Roth was pitching pretty well, when he was struck by a batted ball in the 4th inning and removed immediately. Final numbers on Rob: 3.1 IP, 2 runs, 2 hits, 2 walks and a hard luck defeat. Justin De Fratus came on and kept Lakewood in the game, throwing 4.2 scoreless innings, surrendering just 4 hits, NO walk, 5 Ks. De Fratus' ERA is down to 1.08, and if Roth has to miss a turn, Justin would be my choice to start for him. Lakewood managed just 5 hits, and could not get it going.

Wednesday's game was an early one, 10:30 AM start, and Lakewood did not get their wake up call. Delmarva was all over them, taking to rubber game of the series, 8-1. Jesus Sanchez had another rough start, lasting just 3 innings. Jesus is struggling with his control from the set position with men on base. D'Arby Myers and Lou Collier had 2 hits each for Lakewood, who head now to Hickory, North Carolina to start a stretch of 16 games against the Crawdads and Kannapolis (8 games each).
