The Sharks organization is hard at work putting together a promotional schedule that is second to none for 2012. Highlighted by post-game fireworks extravaganza presented by Taco Bell, ten (10) Thirsty Thursday’s, a UNCW alumni exhibition game and the 2nd annual McDonalds McJersey McAuction night to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.
Sharks fans will also be able to see some familiar faces on the field this summer, led by returning coach Ryan McCleney. McCleney served as an assistant coach last season, but makes his return this season at the helm. Stay tuned as the Sharks will be announcing player signings in the coming weeks.

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.

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.
