Delmarva

If statistics mean anything, the Hagerstown Suns knew they needed to be near-perfect to have a shot against Dylan Bundy. They weren't … but Delmarva's starting pitcher nearly was. Bundy, the Baltimore Orioles' top pitching prospect, coasted through five innings, allowing just one hit on the way to his first professional victory as the Shorebirds grabbed a 3-1 win over the Suns on Sunday before 1,991 fans at Municipal Stadium. The 19-year-old right-hander retired the first 12 Suns he faced before Matt Skole broke the streak with a first-pitch double into the right-field corner leading off the fifth.

Dylan Bundy knows you have to walk before you can even start to think about running. Maybe that's why the 19-year-old pitcher is able to take everything in stride. Bundy, the Baltimore Orioles' top pitching prospect, continued his march through Single-A competition as he controlled the Hagerstown Suns for five innings - allowing just one hit in a 3-1 win on Sunday for his first professional victory. It was just another step in the right direction. “I'm just taking it day by day,” Bundy said.

Delmarva employed the Noah's Ark method to finally knock off the Hagerstown Suns. The Shorebirds did everything in twos. Delmarva used three-hit nights by Jason Esposito and Mychal Givens, along with Nick Delmonico's three-run homer, to grab a 9-1 victory over the Suns on Saturday before 1,712 fans at Municipal Stadium. The Shorebirds paired key triples, singles and homers to construct a three-run third and a four-run seventh inning to end the Suns' six-game winning streak.

Brian Goodwin doesn't even have to get a hit to make a difference for the Hagerstown Suns. His feet are good enough. Goodwin drew a leadoff walk in the ninth inning and took third on an errant pickoff throw to set up Jason Martinson's one-out RBI single to give the Suns a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over Delmarva on Friday before 2,347 fans at Municipal Stadium. Goodwin, a Washington Nationals first-round selection in the 2011 draft - was activated on Friday and played his first game since April 9 when he suffered a leg injury.

The Hagerstown Suns continued to swing potent bats on Thursday. The Suns opened the game with four runs in the first inning and put it away with four in the seventh to claim a 13-11 win over Delmarva for their fifth-straight victory. Cutter Dykstra and Jason Martinson drove in three runs each as Hagerstown (22-15) tightened its hold on second place in the South Atlantic League's Northern Division but remain six games behind division-leading Greensboro. Dykstra tied the game at 1-1 in the first with a leadoff home run off of Delmarva starter Zach Davies.

On Wednesday, Hagerstown scored two runs in the top of the third inning for a 2-0 lead against Delmarva starter Timothy Berry.

The Hagerstown Suns saved their best for last, but it wasn't enough. Hagerstown rallied for four runs in the ninth inning, but it needed one more on Monday in a 5-4 loss to Delmarva. The loss was the third straight for the Suns, who fell to 6-6 and are 1-4 on their seven-game road trip. The Suns, who had been held to four hits, rallied against Delmarva reliever Zach Fowler. Adrian Nieto led off a single and eventually scored on Justin Miller's sacrifice fly to put the Suns on the board.

A.J. Cole charted pitches for the Hagerstown Suns on Friday. It was obvious on Saturday. Cole struck out nine in five scoreless innings to lead the Suns to a 2-0 victory over Delmarva. The 19-year-old right-hander followed the path of Matt Grace, who allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings - taking a no-hitter into the fourth inning - in what became a 6-1 victory on Friday. Cole (4-6) handcuffed the Shorebirds, retiring seven of the first 10 hitters by strikeout, including five of six over the second and third innings.
