There will be two games of baseball at the "Shark Tank" Thursday night, in order to make up a rain out of two weeks ago.

The Sharks will take on the Fayetteville SwampDogs in two seven inning games starting at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 22nd.

Gates will open up at 5 p.m. on another Thirsty Thursday presented by Front Street Brewery. Enjoy dollar beers and dollar soft drinks all night long.

Both the American and National All-Star Squads were only able to plate across two runs to end in a 2-2 in the 2009 CPL All-Star Game Presented by Taco Bell Tuesday night.

Though the enthusiastic crowd of over three thousand packing the stands at the "Shark Tank" could have probably cared less as they got a well contested ball game and a great evening of good ole fashioned fun at the ball park.

This game did have everything but a winner. From a solo go ahead home run in the eighth inning to a clutch run coming home in the bottom of the same frame, the excitement could be felt from dugout to dugout and beyond at Buck Hardee Field.

It would have been a great story. Hometown All-Star wins the Home Run Derby. Phil Cerreto(Longwood) of Martinsville decided instead it would be his night.

The right handed Cerreto just edged out Shark Adam Eggemeyer(SIU-Edwardsville) in the 2009 All-Star Home Run Derby presented by Hells Kitchen Monday night.

Tied with 21 points and seven home runs apiece in the final round, Cerretto connected for one, which proved to be enough to take the crown with 24 points on eight home runs.

The Wilmington Sharks are hosting the 2009 Coastal Plain League All-Star Game and Fan Fest Monday, July 20th and Tuesday, July 21st.

Over the next two days the All-Star Game festivities will all be held at the "Shark Tank" at Buck Hardee Field at the Legion Sports Complex.

The gates will swing open on tonight's Fan Fest at 5 p.m. Fans will get a chance to get autographs from all of the players on both the National and American All-Star clubs.

The Petersburg Generals scored seven runs in the first two innings putting the Sharks in an early hole, sending Wilmington to a 9-2 loss.

J.C. Casey(Missouri State) allowed all seven runs in the first two, plus one in the fifth to take the loss. Casey lasted five frames, allowing the eight runs on nine hits while striking out five.

All of the Sharks two runs of offense came from Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure). The Shark All-Star went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored.
