HOW IT HAPPENED:
Dylan Harris led the game off with a double down the left field line and would score just a few pitches later when Nicholas Gallo laced a single to left field, nearly mirroring the start to Friday night's game.
Barry responded with a six-run bottom of the first inning against NSU starter Gabe Rodriguez, all of which came with two outs in the inning.
Brock Minich would come on in the second inning in relief of Rodriguez, allowing just one run to cross the plate over a span of two innings.
The Sharks would start the following five innings with a new pitcher, as
Tommy Barberi,
Derik Beauprez,
Kyle Kilbourne,
Gil Torres, and
Cameron Churchill took the mound, while
Anthony Difede recorded the final out of the eighth inning for the Sharks for his first appearance of the year.
Offensively, the Sharks scattered eight hits, included a solo home run off of the bat of
Brendan Cutting. Harris, Cutting, and
Andrew Labosky each recorded two hits on the afternoon.
