In the bottom half, Down East recaptured the lead with a two-out, RBI single by Marcos Torres that scored Esteban Mejia from second, making it 3-2 Wood Ducks after eight.
The Shorebirds put together a strong threat in the final inning as they loaded the bases with two outs, but could not push the tying run across, giving the Wood Ducks a 3-2 victory.
