Blue Rocks Get Hard-Earned Win
Josh Gearhart led Wilmington to a win over Potomac. The final score was 11-10. Gearhart collected 2 runs batted in, while going 3 for 5 at the plate. The shortstop also scored 2 times. The winner in relief was Juan Sierra. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 1-0. The last-place Blue Rocks are 50-67.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Gearhart hit a fastball from Billy Nichols for a run-scoring single. The Blue Rocks, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Potomac manager Danny Marquez said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
