Delmarva Breaks Through for First Win in Championship; Now Trails 2-1
Overcoming a bravura effort from opposing starter Nolan McLean, the Delmarva Shorebirds slipped past the Columbia Fireflies by the score of 4-2 today and got their first win in the 2023 Championship. McLean threw 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball for the Shorebirds. The win narrows Delmarva's deficit to 2-1.

Delmarva used the timely hitting of Alvin Guzman to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Shorebirds on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I thought I'd have a season or two to get accustomed to everything," Guzman said. "I didn't think I'd be here already."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Spirit Communications Park in Columbia.
