Sharks Baseball Loses Nail-biter

The Sharks baseball team loses their first game of the year, 9-8.

Jordan Simon and Evan Anthony each had three hits, but it was not enough to overcome Windward, who scored 9 runs on Thursday to defeat the Sharks, 9-8.

After a wild first inning, one in which Windward scored 4 runs off of defensive miscues, the Sharks came back to score five of their own. The Sharks took a 8-6 lead going into the 7th inning, but then gave up three runs and went to the bottom of the 7th down by a run.

The Sharks rallied as Evan Anthony had two doubles and reached third on a triple, and Alvaro Alvarado got to second, but the Sharks could not pick up a clutch hit to win it.
