Wood Ducks Pitching Ravaged by Kunkel
Wednesday, August 26th , 2026
Delmarva second baseman Brian Kunkel could do no wrong in his team's 8-7 win over the Wood Ducks, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Wood Ducks skipper Pat O'Brien said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Kunkel agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Brian Kunkel singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.
Kunkel is hitting at a .207 mark this season. His stats show 1 home run, 19 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has played 78 games for the Shorebirds.
