Blue Rocks Deal Salem 5-1 Defeat
Wilmington Blue Rocks starter Jim McNeil turned in an exceptional performance against the Salem Red Sox at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium, resulting in a Wilmington win, 5-1. Wilmington reliever Jim McNeil got the win, raising his record to 4-11. Danny Gonzalez was tagged with the loss. John Mason was called on to finish, recording his 4th save.

Wilmington went up, 5-1, on David Lusby's 6th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which Lusby hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Salem pitcher John Berglund shaking his head.

"It's nice to get the results when you're feeling good and throwing the ball well," said McNeil after the game.

The Blue Rocks raised their record to 41-62.
