Norfolk leads the series 2-0

W: Derek Carter (1-)
L: Wilson Acosta (0-1)
HR: Abraham Thomas (1), Jorge Guiterrez (1), King Brock (1)

POG: Augusto Rodriguez: 2-2 2B, Run, RBI

Key Moment: After Sergio Galvez was hit by the pitch, Joe Chambers was called on to lay down a sac-bunt. Chambers has never had a sac-bunt in his career, not even in the minors, and is known as being a poor bunter, but he came through got the bunt down and moved Galvez to second. The next batter Augusto Rodriquez singled up the middling putting the Cavaliers on the board first. Without that bunt, Galvez never scores.

Key Notes: Game 3 will put Arturo Ramirez on the hill against Marcos Estrada. With Contreras in game 1, Hollis in game 2 and Estrada in game 3, this series has been a showcase for the top pitchers in the history of the DelMarVa Baseball League. Game 3 is certainly going to be another exciting/entertaining game.

Delaware Conference
New Castle Colonials @ Lewes Braves
Colonials 1, Braves 2

L: Todd Eldridge (0-1)
SV: Carlos Rodriquez (1)
HR: None

POG: Paul Randolph, 8 IP, 3 H, 1 Run, 3 BB's, 4 K's

Key Moment: With the first 2 hitters for the Colonials reaching base in the top of the 3rd, Paul Randolph, was able to pitch out of the jam. Thanks to a sac-bunt, moving the runners to 2nd and third. A sac-fly scoring the lone run, and then with a 3-2 count Randolph struck out Ricardo Flores ending the threat. The only viable threat the Colonials were able to put together all game.

Series is tied at 1
