The Shorebirds enter the series with a 6-15 record. According to MLB.com, Delmarva has three of the Baltimore Orioles top 30 prospects on their team, OF Heston Kjerstad, OF Reed Trimble and RHP Carter Baumler. The only problem for the top prospects is that they have combined to play a total of 0 games for the Salisbury, Maryland club. Offensively, it’s been shortstop Darell Hernaiz who has been leading the way. The 20-year-old leads the team with a .322 average, five homers and 16 RBI. As of Saturday, he was second in the league in homers and fourth in RBI. On the bump, Juan De Los Santos has been the pitcher to look out for. The starter is 1-2 in four starts, but he boasts a 1.59 ERA and 15 punchouts in 17 innings across that time.
