A complete game from starter J.C. Casey(Missouri State) and 15 hits for the Sharks turned into a 7-1 win for the Sharks over the Columbia Blowfish Friday night.
It was the Sharks bats getting started early with two runs in the first. Singles from Ben Kline(Nebraska), Adam Eggemeyer(SIU-Edwardsville) and Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) loaded the bases. With two down Greg Bachman(Austin Peay) notched his first of two RBI on the night by working a walk. Adam Gray(Mercyhurst) would then get his big night started with his first of three singles, to drive in the first of his three runs and give the Sharks a 2-0 lead.
While Wilmington would add one in the third, two in the fifth and single runs in the sixth and seventh, two would prove to be enough as Casey cruised through nine.
The Missouri State righty spread three hits and five strike outs over his nine innings. An error opened the door to the end of the shut out in the seventh, but Casey secured the last six outs to pick up his first win of the season.

A stellar start from Daniel Cropper(UNC-Wilmington) and a five run third inning was enough to put the Sharks back in the win column as they beat Wilson 7-4.
Cropper allowed just one run and scattered four hits over seven innings of work racking up six strike outs. He bested his last outing by two innings as he picked up his first win of 2009.
The Sharks picked up a single run in the second but did major damage with the lumber in the third. Cole Rakar(College of Charleston) singled to start the inning. After Ben Kline(Nebraska) reached on a fielders choice, Adam Eggemeyer(SIU-Edwardsville) doubled home a run. With Kline and Eggemeyer at second and third Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) rolled one past the center fielder to plate two more and the route was on.
