After being no-hit through the first five innings, Stiven Acevedo supplied Delmarva's first run and hit on a solo home run, pulling the Shorebirds within two at 3-1.
Kannapolis answered quickly in the bottom half as they scored twice on a pair of run-scoring singles by Ryan Galanie and Eddie Park to put the Cannon Ballers ahead 5-1.
They put the game away in the eighth with a two-run single by Albertson Asigen to extend the lead to 7-1.
