Wilmington Beats Salem, 7-3
The Wilmington Blue Rocks trumped the Salem Red Sox, 7-3, at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium. Wilmington designated hitter Sam O'Reilly was terrific. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Wilmington starter Steven Hajjar was credited with the win after throwing 93 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 7-0. After today's action, Wilmington sits at 75-61, while Salem falls to 65-71.

Wilmington used a well-timed hit by Tommy Troy to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Blue Rocks ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

Troy attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
