Salisbury Shorebirds vs Kannapolis Cannon Ballers — Sep 6, 2026
September 6 · 1:30 PM EDT
Shorebirds stumble into Cannon Ballers matchup.
Salisbury has lost five straight and sits 44-86, while the Ballers bring a four-game winning streak and a 70-60 record into this one. Cannon Ballers have won six of their last ten, while the Shorebirds dropped eight of theirs. That margin is where this game gets decided: one team has rhythm, the other is searching for answers.
- Stiven Martinez carries Salisbury's offense with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs, but he'll be working against a pitching staff that has been sharper lately. The Ballers' Stiven Flores leads his club with 62 RBIs, a sign that Cannon is manufacturing runs consistently enough to keep pace in close spots.
- Rylan Galvan's eight home runs for the Ballers means they're less dependent on any one bat, but the Shorebirds' attack lives through Martinez. How much work he can get done against pitching that has been difficult to square up will shape whether Salisbury can get back on track.
