Shorebirds Drop RiverDogs, 9-4
Behind the hitting of Chuck Ward, the Delmarva Shorebirds stopped the Charleston RiverDogs, 9-4, in 10 innings. Ward was 5 for 5 with a double, 4 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs for the Shorebirds. The win went to Robinson García in relief. His record improves to 7-2. Greg Saunders took the loss. The Northern Division-leading Shorebirds have a record of 81-43.

Walt Ellis was 2-5 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 times for Delmarva. The 24-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Greg Saunders. It was his 12th walk of the season.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Ward. "And not try to do too much."
