After the game, the Shorebirds are heading to Greensboro, North Carolina for a showdown with the Grasshoppers starting on Tuesday night. The Birds and Power have become quite familiar with each other - by the end of this day, Delmarva will have played West Virginia in 12 of 18 games since July 28th. The Shorebirds have had a frustrating second half of the year after nearly winning the Northern Division in the first half. West Virginia won the second half last season, and even though they are tied for fourth place, they are only 2.5 games behind Lakewood. The Shorebirds have dropped 11 of their last 14 games, while West Virginia has won nine of it s last 14. That being said, the Shorebirds won two of the first three in this series and have a chance to win the series on Sunday. TONIGHT S OPPONENT: Right-hander Logan Sendelbach gets the ball tonight for West Virginia. Even though the Tiffin, Ohio native only sports a 8-5 record, the Power are 16-5 when he s the starting pitcher this year. Sendelbach was selected out of NCAA Division II Tiffin University last summer in the 10th round of the MLB First Year Player Draft, making him the first player ever drafted out of the university. He s made three appearances against the Shorebirds, going 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA (largely because he lasted just 0.2 innings in his last start with three runs against him). LAST GAME QUICK HITS: The Shorebirds rode Randolph Gassaway s hot bat all night long. He ripped two long home runs and drove in five of the seven runs in a 7-1 win on Saturday night. It was the best night of his young career. Cristian Alvarado continued to steady the pitching staff with his 10th quality start of the season. He earned his ninth win. PLAYER TO WATCH WHO S HOT/WHO ELSE RANDOLPH GASSAWAY OF Randolph Gassaway has burst on to the scene in his first opportunity with Delmarva. The 2013 draft pick has hit safely in 27 of his first 35 games, including a 4-for-5 game last night with two home runs. He is the reigning South Atlantic League Player of the Week. WHO S HOT CEDRIC MULLINS Despite missing a few games with lower back tightness, Mullins has continued to swing a hot bat. He s hit safely in 16 games in a row, which ties the longest hitting streak of the season for a Shorebird. Additionally, he s hit.373 against West Virginia in 14 games. WHO ELSE OFELKY PERALTA Peralta was recently named the Orioles Minor League Pitcher of the Month for July, He finished July 3-0 with a 2.57 ERA and threw his first career no-hitter.

This will be his 46th start in the South Atlantic League and his 56th career start since being drafted early in the 2014 MLB First Year Player Draft. He was selected in the third round of the draft, but was the Orioles top selection that summer. ARSENAL: 2-Seam Fastball, 4-Seam Fastball, Curve, Circle Change 2015 WITH THE SHOREBIRDS: Gonzalez pitched innings in Delmarva last year, starting in each of the 23 games in which he worked. He finished the campaign 4-9 with a 5.71 ERA. Gonzalez finished the season on a sour note, tainting what was otherwise a fairly strong year. He allowed at least four runs in each of his last four outings. Brian has great stuff and was dominating in his four winning decisions. Gonzalez was high school teammates at Archbishop McCarthy in Fort Lauderdale, FL with Cincinnati Reds Top 10 prospect and 1st round draft pick Nick Travieso. Two years after the Reds took Travieso 14th overall, the Orioles selected Gonzalez in the third round (90th overall). Chicago White Sox catcher Alex Avila, Detroit Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos and Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Danny Farquhar are among the most notable professional baseball players from Archbishop Mc- Carthy SINGLE GAME STATS PRO CAREER GAME HIGHS Low Runs: 0, five times Innings: 6.1 twice (both vs. LWD) High Runs: 6, 7/6 vs. LWD Runs: 7 vs. HAG (6/29/15) Low Hit: 2, 5/24 vs. GBO Hits: 8, twice in 2016 High Hits: 9, 7/23 vs. KAN Walks: 6, vs. KAN (4/24/16) Innings: 6.1, 8/9 vs. LWD Strikeouts: 10, vs. GBO (5/24/16) Most Walks: 6, 4/24 vs. KAN Pitches: vs. LWD (7/6/16) Strikeouts: 10, 5/24 vs. GBO Hit Batters: 2, 3x (last 5/2/16) 2016 MISCELLANEOUS NUMBERS W L ERA GS IP ER Home Road Day Night AVG AB H HR BB SO vs. Left: vs. Right: TOTALS: INNING-BY-INNING Inning ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG GIDP MONTH-BY-MONTH Month Record ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG April May June July August CAREER STATISTICS Season Team W-L ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO 2014 Aberdeen Delmarva Delmarva TOTALS CAREER AGAINST THE POWER: Gonzalez makes his sixth appearance against West Virginia tonight, but only his third this season. No team frustrated him more in 2015 over three starts - he finished 0-3 with a ERA (13 ER in 8.1 IP). This will be the third time in four starts that the lefty faces West Virginia. TUESDAY S PROBABLE: Reid Love is Delmarva s probable starting pitcher tomorrow evening. LAST OUTING: Gonzalez completely dominated through six innings before giving up a 3-run homer in the top of the seventh. That crippled the Shorebirds, who lost the affair 3-1. He had only thrown 54 pitches over the first six innings and had limited Lakewood to three hits during that stretch. Wilson Garcia hit the 3-run homer for the BlueClaws.
