With a three plus hour jaunt to Asheboro today, Wilmington will get set to face off against the Copperheads for the one and only time this season.
Max Friedman, the seeming road warrior for the Sharks, will be making the start at the end of the line. Friedman started another game following a long road trip for the Sharks as he threw four frames in Martinsville on June 12th.

It took 12 innings but the Sharks plated across the only run of the ball game to walk off with the win against the Florence Redwolves Wednesday night.
Andrew Guerra(St. Louis) became the walk off wonder with a clutch two out single to bring Greg Bachman(Austin Peay) chasing around third to score the winning run. With one down in the 12th, Bachman would walk to set him self into scoring position. Then a batter later Guerra stepped up and produced the game winning RBI.
Not to be lost in the late heroics, a heroic 10 inning performance from starter J.C. Casey(Missouri State). The righty scattered five hits and three walks over the ten frames, striking out seven.
After a near miss in come from behind fashion last night, the Sharks will try again to find their first win of the second half as the Florence Redwolves come to town, bringing a 1-0 second half advantage into tonight's contest.
J.C. Casey will be on the hill for the Sharks. Making his 6th start Casey brings a 2-2 record along with a 2.60 ERA into the game tonight. The Missouri State right hander is staring back at a two game personal losing streak but threw eight innings of one hit ball the last time he faced these Redwolves.
