He had two hits, a double and a home run, and drove in three runs and scored two. Shortstop Kyle Davis had three hits, drove in two runs and scored two runs and third baseman Pat Dameron, designated hitter Chris Nehl and catcher Ryan Reed had two hits each. Reed had a double and a home run.
The Blue Hens broke out with six runs in the first three innings, then added four in the sixth and one each in the seventh and eighth. Relief pitcher Michael Londino (3-5) got the win, working two and two-thirds innings and allowed just one earned run.
In Saturday's opener, the Hens fell behind 8-0 but staged a furious rally that came up one run short. Left fielder Jared Olson had three hits, including a grand slam home run in the sixth. Starting pitcher Mike McGuire (5-5) took the loss.
In Saturday's second game, Cuneo had a pair of hits and Nehl hit a home run. Starting pitcher Brad Miller (3-4) worked four and one-third innings and took the loss.
