The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs and Camden Riversharks split a doubleheader Wednesday night at Regency Furniture Stadium with the Blue Crabs taking Game 1 7-6 before falling in Game 2 4-3.
GAME 1: SOUTHERN MARYLAND 7, CAMDEN 6
After falling behind 6-0, the Blue Crabs staged a remarkable comeback that ended with a walk-off RBI single by C.J. Ziegler in the bottom of the 7th inning. The walk-off win is the fourth of the season at Regency Furniture Stadium.
With one out and a runner on second, Ziegler lined a ball in the left-center field gap that scored the game-winning run and snapped the Blue Crabs three-game skid. Jim Ed Warden (1-0) received the win out of the bullpen while former Blue Crab Sean Toler (4-1) suffered the loss.
Camden sent 11 batters to the plate in their six-run top of the 1st. Zack MacPhee reached on a two-base error to start the game and eventually scored on a wild pitch by Brian Burres. Just pitches after MacPhee scored, Brian Van Kirk hit a two-run home run off the foul pole in left to extend the lead to 3-0. The Riversharks went on to load the bases later in the inning and after a Bobby Stevens hit an RBI groundout, Michael Albaladejo drove in two runs with a single to cap off the six-run 1st.
