Shorebirds Drop Sand Gnats, 6-3
Rod Fitzgerald had a strong outing for the Delmarva Shorebirds against the Savannah Sand Gnats at Grayson Stadium. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 6-3 win. The loss drops Savannah to 10-8.

Luis Pérez was 1 for 4 with a walk for Delmarva. The 23-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring walk off Duane Turner. It was his 4th walk of the season.

"It's about putting our team in the best position to win ballgames," said Fitzgerald.
