A one run lead was not enough in the ninth inning as the visiting Gastonia Grizzlies tied it at four, then went on to win 5-4 in 12 innings over the Sharks Wednesday night.

Sean Toler(Missouri State) walked  the lead man in the ninth and that run came around to score on a wild pitch to send things to the bottom of the ninth. The Sharks had the go ahead run 90 feet away but could not cash it in to send things to the extra frames.

The Sharks snapped a six game skid with just enough offense and some clutch pitching late, to beat the Columbia Blowfish 4-3.

Daniel Cropper(UNC-Wilmington) picked up the win for the Sharks giving up just two runs through six innings, striking out five.

The Sharks offense spotted the righty four runs after the third. With one down two hit batsmen and a single loaded the bases for Adam Eggemeyer(SIU-Edwardsville) who laced a two run single to pick up his 19th and 20th RBI on the season. Not to be out done the very next batter, Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) drove in two more runs with a single to make it 4-0.
