SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (50-74, 27-32) finished August with a 6-1 over the Salem Red Sox (66-59, 32-27).

The Red Sox grabbed the first lead of the game in the opening frame on a throwing error that scored Nazzan Zanetello to make it 1-0 Salem.

Delmarva quickly countered in the bottom half as Vance Honeycutt tied the game with an RBI single. Two more runs scored moments later on a two-run double by Ryan Stafford. A throwing error by second basemen Fraymi De Leon allowed a fourth run to score in the inning, giving the Shorebirds a 4-1 edge after the first.

Braylin Tavera extended the lead with an RBI groundout in the third as Edwin Amparo scored, making it 5-1.
