SALISBURY, M.D. -- Delmarva rode a pair of two-run home runs and a dominant pitching performance to a 4-1 win over the Wilson Warbirds on Saturday night at Purdue Stadium, clinching the series.

Delmarva (8-12) struck first in the second inning against Tyler Renz (L, 1-1), as Edwin Amparo launched a two-run homer, his first of the season, to make it 2-0.

The Shorebirds doubled their lead in the seventh when Joshua Liranzo added a two-run shot to push the advantage to 4-0.

Wilson (7-13) managed their only run of the game on a two out home run in the ninth by Jose Anderson, his fourth of the season, for the 4-1 final score.

The Warbirds hand ample opportunities but could not capitalize on walks as they stranded 13 runners. The Warbirds went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Fermin Magallanes (W, 1-0) earned the win with a scoreless 1.1 innings out of the bullpen.

The series concludes Sunday at 2:05 p.m., with Wilson scheduled to start right-hander Miqueas Mercedes (0-1, 2.93) against Delmarva right-hander Kiefer Lord (0-2, 3.71).
