The Wilmington Sharks added Nebraska’s Ben Kline, College of Charleston’s Cole Rakar, and Southwest Minnesota State’s Adam Schrader to their ’09 roster Tuesday.
Kline will be back in Shark Blue and White for his second tour of duty. In the summer of 2008 he hit .244 in 24 games for the Sharks, driving in 12 and swiping four bags, seeing time at short and third. This spring at Nebraska he hit .242 with 13 runs scored and 15 RBI in 34 games.
Rakar will be the second Charleston Cougar on the squad this season joining catcher Kolby Epley. As a sophomore outfielder in ‘09 Rakar hit .317 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI while swiping 18 bases, getting caught only 3 times.
Right-hander Adam Schrader comes to the Sharks by way of Easton, Minnesota and Southwest Minnesota State. During his junior campaign in 2009, Schrader posted a 5-1 record with a 3.88 ERA and 67 strike outs over 60 and one third innings. Schrader spent the summer of 2008 playing for Sharks coach Jake Tenhouse on the Hornell Dodgers of the New York Collegiate Baseball League. With the Dodgers he posted a 2-1 record with a 1.30 ERA over 34 and two thirds innings.

Even as the “Shark Tank” at Buck Hardee Field began to take its season form over the past few weeks there still seemed to be something missing. That final piece fell into place Monday morning as Head Coach Jake Tenhouse led the 2009 Sharks through their first workout.
It was the familiar crack of bat on ball and slap of ball to leather that brought the “Shark Tank” buzzing. One bat in particular sparked most of the buzz during Monday’s workout. Left-handed outfielder Adam Eggemeyer decided to play pepper with the roof of the Sharks locker room, launching balls deep beyond the right field fence during batting practice. It wasn’t all hitting as Sharks pitchers took some of their first tosses in the bull pen at the “Shark Tank” as well.
It will be one more day of workout’s Tuesday as the team puts in its final tune-up. Then it’s onto the long road to Thomasville to kick off the season against the Hi-Toms. The Sharks split two games with Thomasville last season, taking a win at home and a loss while visiting Finch Field.
