Stellar pitching and just enough hitting helped the Wilmington Sharks spoil the home opener of the Thomasville Hi-Toms with a 4-2 win Wednesday night. The right arm of Adam Schrader(SW Minnesota State) held the Hi-Toms in check at Finch Field. Carrying a no hitter into the 5th Schrader needed just over 80 pitches to complete seven innings. Schrader allowed just 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out six. The Sharks offense pounded out ten hits against the Hi-Toms but only had one run to their credit headed into the 7th. That changed after Adam Gray(Mercyhurst) led off the inning with a single, he would come home on a wild pitch to make it 2-0 Sharks. With two down Jesse Bosnik(St. Bonaventure) would strike out but reach base as the ball went past the catcher. After Andrew Guerra(St. Louis) doubled Bosnik to third a sharp single back up the middle off the bat of Adam Eggemeyer(SIU-Edwardsville) would bring home two and put the Sharks up 4-0.
Garrett Cooper(St. Louis University) and Ryan McGrath(Wake Forest) would combine to get the final six outs of the ball game and secure the Sharks first win. The first Shark run of the night came home in the third inning on a Guerra single to give the Sharks and Schrader an early margin.
