HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
BOTTOM 9TH | Leading off, Tia Williams was walked, before a single up the middle by Suka Van Gurp moved her to second and put the Sharks in scoring position. After a sacrifice bunt by Miriam Schmoll advanced both runners, a foul out by Aubry Hernandez towards the left field fence allowed just enough time for a speedy Wiliams to make it home for the 1-0 walk off victory.
 
INSIDE THE STATS:
 

• The Sharks were limited to three hits, as Van Gurp tallied two of the three, going 2-for-3. Schmoll accounted for the third hit, as she was 1-for-3.
• Schmoll earned her second shutout win of the weekend, tossing all 9.0 innings, allowing four hits and striking out two.

 
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:
 

• With today's win, the Sharks hit the 20-win mark of the season, the quickest they've hit this mark since the 2011-12 season.
