The Sharks had themselves in position for another wild walk off at the Shark Tank, but could not tap into the magic as they fell 4-3 to the Blowfish Tuesday night. Click to listen to a Shark Bytes recap.

Mike Rudman(Miami) made his first start of the season throwing well through four. He ran into a bit of a wall in the 5th, walking four, giving up one but got out of the inning with the lead. In the sixth Peter Larson(Ferrum) came on in relief but struggled giving up a run on three walks. Cory Burgess(USC-Sumter) came on and induced a double play ball to end the sixth and preserve the tie.

Burgess had struggles of his own in the seventh. A hit batsman and walk put the first two on. With two down a wild pitch and a single brought home two handing Burgess his second loss on the season.

The Sharks tried to answer with one in the seventh when with two down and runners on first and third the Columbia second baseman dropped an infield pop to bring home a run. That was as close the Wilmington boys came, picking up just a walk in the final two frames.

At the plate Ben Kline(Nebraska) led the way with a 3-4 night scoring a run. Tyler White(Alabama) was lights out from the pen again throwing a scoreless two innings walking one, striking out four.

After a day off the Sharks will head on the road for games in Florence and Columbia. The Sharks will be back home Saturday night at 7pm to again face the Blowfish of Columbia.
