Bradley Dixon (Greenwood, S.C.) plated a run in the ninth while Logan McRae (Florence, S.C.) and Jared Kirven (Lexington,S.C.) both recorded a double. Dupree Hart (Rock Hill, S.C.) pinch-ran in the ninth and stole his 40th base of the season.

Zach Williams (Marietta, Ga.) pitched into the sixth and allowed two runs on four hits while striking out one. Josh Price (Dillion, S.C.) tossed two and one-third scoreless frames to earn his seventh win of the season and Kuhn fanned two in a perfect ninth to collect his first career save.

Kevin Mohollen and Jack Goan each drove in a run for the Blue Hens as Zach Lesher went 2-for-4 with two singles. Joey Silan lasted seven innings allowing two runs on seven hits in a no-decision. Jack Dubecq took the loss after surrendering three unearned runs on three hits in one and two-thirds.
