CAMDEN-The Riversharks set the tone in the 1st inning, scoring four runs off Bluefish starter, Josh Kalinowski, and held on for a 5-2 win in front of 3,379ans at Campbell's Field.
Kalinowski struggled with his control in the opening frame, needing 37 pitches to get through the inning. Ryan Jones drew a bases loaded walk, plating Brad Strauss (2-5) with the game's first run. Second baseman, Troy Cameron, followed with an RBI single to deep right field that put the Riversharks in front 2-0. Later in the inning, Guy Lynam and Brian Hunter each drew walks, allowing two more runs to score. Kalinowski would settle down to pitch six innings, but took the loss, falling to 3-5 on the season.
