Blue Rocks Bump Off Keys, 3-1
In a low-scoring clash between Wilmington and Frederick, pitcher Jesus Esparza was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned praise for his performance in the 3-1 Blue Rocks win. Esparza got the win, improving to 2-2. He gave up 4 hits and walked 0 over 5.1 innings. He allowed 1 run. Wilmington is now 16-14, Frederick 14-16.

Fred Allday, who is tied for 10th in the CAR in RBI with 15, had a direct impact on the outcome. Allday contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the third inning to put Wilmington up, 2-0.

"Good pitching stops good hitting," said Allday. "And vice-versa."
