ZACH JARRETT

(Class A Delmarva, Md.)

Zach Jarrett — who starred in high school at Hickory and in college at Charlotte – had a walk-off, game-winning single on Friday night when the Shorebirds nipped visiting Greensboro 3-2 before 4,116.

He started in left field and batted third, delivering his only hit of the night (1-for-5) with two outs and two runners on base.

In 90 games this season, Jarrett has 19 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs and 53 RBIs. He’s hitting .295, which includes .214 with three home runs and six RBIs in his last 10 games.

Delmarva improved to 52-43 and 17-11 in the second half in the SAL Northern Division standings.

The Shorebirds are in second place in the second-half standings, a half-game back of Lakewood, N.J., and a half-game in front of third-place Hickory.

HAYDEN DEAL (Class A Rome, Ga.)

DEAL

Rome swept a doubleheader over Charleston (S.C.) in Rome on Friday but Hayden Deal, a star at Bandys High who played college baseball at Presbyterian, did not pitch.

The Braves won 4-1 and 8-1, with former Lenoir-Rhyne University star John Curtis (Hibriten High) starting the second game and picking up a victory after going five innings (four hits, no hits no runs, four strikeouts) before 3,051.

In his last outing — on Tuesday night at Augusta (Ga.) in a 5-1 victory – Deal, a left-hander, threw a complete game and earned a victory. He pitched seven innings, allowing four hits, one run (earned), walking none and striking out five.

Deal is 5-1 with an ERA of 1.89, pitching 57 innings this season. He’s hit four batters, intentionally walked one and walked nine to go with 60 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting .197 against him this season.

In his last 10 outings, he is 2-1 with an ERA of 1.86, pitching 38 2/3 innings with five walks and 32 strikeouts.

The Braves are 52-45 overall and 12-16 in the second-half SAL Southern Division standings. They won a first-half title, securing a postseason berth.

HUNTER HARVEY (Class AA Bowie, Md.)

HARVEY

Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey remains in Florida as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained while trying to maneuver away from a foul ball into the dugout on a day he was not pitching.

When he twisted to avoid being struck by the ball, his right shoulder popped out of socket.

Harvey is now throwing some and is expected to pitch in a game in Florida on Aug. 4.

He was scratched from his 10th start (June 8) and remains listed as “active” on the Bowie roster. He is on the Baltimore Orioles’ 40-man roster, so if he were to go on the 60-day disabled list he would be considered on the major league roster during that time.

Harvey is 1-2 with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 runs (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.

Bowie finished last in the first-half West Division of the Eastern League, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).

Erie (Pa.) beat Bowie 5-3 at Bowie on Friday night before 5,431 dropping the Baysox at 43-53 overall in the Eastern League.
