The Sharks would tack on one more insurance run in the 6th inning thanks to Thatcher Coleman (Presbyterian) scoring on a Dean single.
Dallas Oliver (Florida A&M) made his SwampDogs debut dropping his first start to fall to (0-1). Jonathan Jahn (South Carolina) picked up his second win (2-3). Evan Brabrand (NC State) picked his third save on the season as Wilmington moved above .500 for the first time this season.
