A three run first stood up behind three Wilmington pitchers as the Sharks defeated the Catawba Valley Stars 6-1 Monday night.
In a salute to the U.S. Army, the Sharks opened up on the visiting Stars when Adam Gray(Mercyhurst) doubled home Christian Overstreet(Missouri State) for the club's first run in the bottom of the first. After Kolby Epley(College of Charleston) brought Gray home with a ground out, Greg Bachman(Austin Peay) singled and scored on a Graham Fronk(Campbell) RBI knock.
Garrett Cooper(St. Louis) started and shut the Stars out through five, surrendering just two hits. Alex Hill(UNC-Wilmington) came on in relief and held Catawba Valley to just a solo home run, while Kyle Smith(Central Missouri) nailed down the win with three outs in the ninth.
