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.

Schrader though gave the lead right back in the bottom of the seventh. On the night the righty worked through seven innings giving up four runs, three earned, on six hits while striking out 3. Ryan McGrath(Wake Forest) threw a scoreless inning of relief but the Sharks couldn't scratch anything across in the 9th as they dropped their fourth straight.
