Eric Callender(Southeastern Louisiana) held Wilson scoreless through his seven innings to bring the streaking Tobs to a halt, 4-0 at the Shark Tank.

Callender's scoreless seven moved his record to 3-3 on the season. The right hander allowed just four hits to keep the Tobs off the board. Tyler White(Alabama) kept Wilson down late picking up his third save giving up just one hit through the eighth and ninth. White added three punchouts to bring his season total to 35.

Bobby Leeper(UNC-Wilmington) came up huge for the Sharks offensively with a 3-4 night, scoring two of the Wilmington runs and driving in a third. Leeper started things in the first with a lead-off single. While stealing second the throw sailed into center field allowing Leeper to advance to third where the throw again got past the Tob defender and Leeper scampered home with the Sharks first run.

Another run came home in the second when John Nester(Clemson) singled and stole second with one down. Neal Pritchard(Elon) then lashed a double to right center to score Nester and set the score at 2-0. It was Leeper again making things happen in the fifth. Matt Kirchner(Elon) led things off with a single before Leeper stepped to the plate and blasted his third home run of the season, deep to center field.

The Sharks pull back even on the second half with the win and have two more home games over the next two days. Florence comes into the Tank Tuesday for a 7pm game while the Tobs will be back for an afternoon contest starting at 1pm Wednesday.
