Despite losing 1-0 to the West Virginia Power at Appalachian Power Park, Adam Hall and his Delmarva Shorebirds teammates still clinched the South Atlantic League Northern Division first half championship thanks to second-place Greensboro's 2-1 loss against Hickory.
The Shorebirds (46-18) are now headed to postseason play for the seventh time in franchise history and first time in 14 years. The last time Delmarva made the SAL playoffs was 2005 when the Shorebirds won the second half division title. It's just the second time the Shorebirds have ever won a first half title, following the inaugural 1996 Delmarva team, which went 47-23 before the All-Star Break.
