The Sharks managed just three runs on six hits as they fell in Fayetteville 4-3 Tuesday night. Some early offense came in the second inning for the Sharks.
Drew Wingo(Presbyterian) led the frame off with a single. A walk to Alex Hill(UNC-Wilmington) put two on for Greg Bachman(Austin-Peay) who slammed a two RBI double to the left centerfield gap to give the Sharks an early 2-0 cusion.
With single runs in the third and fifth, Fayetteville tied the game off of starter Adam Schrader(SW-Minnesota State), but his offense picked him up in the top of the 7th. A bloop hit fell in for Hill to lead off the inning. He moved to second on an infield single then to third on a delayed steal. With Kolby Epley(College of Charleston) batting Hill broke for the plate and scored after Epley laid down a squeeze bunt to put the Sharks up 3-2.

The Sharks scored before and after a nearly two hour rain delay, in the end pounding out 16 runs on 16 hits to beat the SwampDogs 16-5 in a late Monday night affair.
With runs in seven of the nine frames, including four innings in which the Sharks scored two or more runs, the Sharks posted their biggest run total of the season with 16 and knocked out their most hits of the season also with 16.
Wilmington jumpped out to an early lead before the rains came. Adam Gray(Mercyhurst) walked with one down in the top of the first. After a Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) single, Andrew Guerra(St. Louis) reached on an error that allowed Bosnik to scamper all the way around from second. Then with two down and Gray on third, Alex Hill(UNC-Wilmington) slapped a single to left to make it 2-0.

The Sharks will at worst go four and eight, a decent .500, to end the season. As winners of four of their last six however, they have a chance to get to the twenty win mark on the campaign.
To help take step one of their two win journey, a lefty coming off a sparkling month of July relief will look to conquer the swampland in a new month. Another help in the journey could be a Shark defense that settled in nicely during 2009.
While it would be easy to discount the last two games and begin lamenting what could of been by saying things like, "Well a .500 record would have put us in the post season," or, "If only those one run games had gone our way more often," Shark Bits is still focused on what's left of the season.

A two run home run off the bat of Andrew Guerra(St. Louis) pulled the Sharks within three runs of the Wilson Tobs, but they would fall 7-4.
A five run fourth doomed the Sharks as the Tobs batted around off of starter Hunter Ford(Campbell) who took the loss. The Sharks answered with an RBI single off of the bat of Alex Hill(UNC-Wilmington) for the second of two runs in the fourth but the bats fell silent until Guerra's 8th inning homer.
Chris Powell(Presbyterian) worked three innings in relief giving up just 2 hits, while Kyle Smith(Central Missouri) and Sean Toler(Missouri State) combined to keep the Tobs off the scoreboard after the 5th.
