Hitting at a Premium as Sharks Fall Print E-mail
Saturday, 30 May 2009 17:23

Two hits produced two runs in the second inning for the Sharks Satuday night, but that was the extent of the offense as the final 16 batters went down in order to three Fayetteville pitchers.

With two down Cole Rakar(College of Charleston) singled then stole second. Trevor Willis(Iowa) then lofted a fly ball to center that found the turf and gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead.

The Swampdogs tied things in the 5th off of starter J.C. Casey(Missouri State) and would pick up an unearned run off of Ryan McGrath(Wake Forest) in the ninth to steal the 2-1 win.


Reliever Chris Kennedy(Davidson) threw three strong innings of middle relief holding the Swampdogs to one hit. Casey finished his first CPL start after four and two thirds with six strike outs.
