The Sharks(2-1) faltered late at Capitol City Stadium Friday night as they fell 10-5 to the Blowfish(1-2). Columbia plated multiple runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th to fight off any Shark rally and send the Wilmington squad to their first defeat.

A three run third inning had the Sharks out in front early. Greg Bachman(Austin Peay) would get things started with a single. After a fielders choice moved him to second, Curt Courtwright(Missouri State) drove him home with an rbi single. Then with one down and runners on second and third Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) came through with a single to put the Sharks up 2-0. An RBI single by Drew Wingo(Presbyterian) would give the Sharks a three run cushion.

Trailing 6-3, Wilmington looked to bounce back, plating two themselves in the 8th. An RBI double off the bat of Greg Bachman(Austin Peay) pulled the Sharks to within one, but they would come no closer.

After leading for most of the game the Wilmington Sharks were had to score two runs in the eighth inning to beat the visiting Columbia Blowfish 6-4.

The opening night crowd at the Shark Tank was treated to quite a show Thursday night. Wilmington found themselves in a suddenly tight ballgame after leading 4-0 all night until a Blowfish rally in the eighth tied things up.

Facing their first bit of adversity of the season the Sharks responded as Alex Hill(UNC-Wilmington) led off with a single and then was sacrificed to second by Cole Rakar(College of Charleston) As Hill tried to swipe third, the catcher’s throw sailed into left field, allowing Hill to score the tie-breaking run.

Sunday, 02 August 2009 06:24

Welcome, officially, to baseball in the month of August. The season is coming to a close for the Sharks, meaning you need to get your fill of "Shark Bits" before they're gone.

Another close game for the Sharks last night, the hitting was just not there, but the Sharks will get at least 14 frames of swings in today for the double header.

They say a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. I say, two baseball games in a day is far better than hunting for birds with your bare hands.
