With apologies to our loyal "Shooting the Shark" readers, after a brief hiatus during a wild wild week at the "Shark Tank" your next insider's look at the Sharks is presented below. Harp’s Accord: Starter Ryne Harper will toe the rubber with an even 1-1 win loss record in three starts on the season. The righty from Austin Peay has tossed outings of five, six and five innings, all on the road. In his last outing he picked up the win in a rained shortened game in Florence, giving up six runs, though only two were earned. Ten to Win: Of the final ten games left on the first half schedule, eight will feature the Sharks against division rivals. Also Edenton visits tonight from the CPL North, while Gastonia will be in town from the West next week. As they sit 1.5 games back of first place Fayetteville, the Sharks will have to handle all their division rivals down this stretch to have a shot at the first half crown. Error Free Sandwhich: Not since the first game of the season had the Sharks thrown up an 0 in the error column as they did last night. In between have been 16 games and 38 total errors. Over the last five games Sharks fielders tightened up, committing just five errors. Word on the Street: Nixa, Missouri’s own Christian Overstreet has bolstered his average to .267 on the season with a solid week at the plate. Over the past seven days the Missouri State Bear picked up six hits in 16 at bats for a .375 on the week. Overstreet played in four games seeing time at first base and in the outfield. Month of Sundays: Three off, now one on. The Sharks will be on the field for their first Sunday game this season, taking on the Columbia Blowfish, on the road at Capitol City Stadium. ***** Big game tonight. Only 10 games left in the first half, but the Sharks are still in the thick of the race. Give us a listen on the CPL Webpass. I hear the broadcaster is pretty decent. Keep an eye out as the blogs will be flying off the cyber presses straight to your desktop. -JW |
