Wilmington Sharks News Release
Fayetteville, NC-The Wilmington Sharks faced another night in which nothing went their way in an 8- 1 loss to the Fayetteville SwampDogs Friday night at JP Riddle Stadium.
The route began when Nathan Dill and Jojo Allen became the second tandem to homer back-to-back against the Sharks in 2019, making it 2-0 SwampDogs in the second inning.
The SwampDogs added to their lead when Konner Piotto led off the fifth with a triple. The next four SwampDog hitters singled, leading to a four-run inning to make it 6-0. The SwampDogs added another run in both the sixth and the seventh to go up 8-0.
Sharks relief pitcher Troy Britts came into the game as a pinch-hitter in the ninth and doubled to lead off the inning. With two outs, Britts scored on a throwing error to put the Sharks on the board. Despite the struggles, the Sharks defense performed well and turned a total of four double plays to reduce the damage. The Sharks pitching staff also managed to get out of two bases loaded jams unscathed, one of them with nobody out.
