OT: Wilmington Sharks (w/ Ryan Jeffers)
Just figured I'd give the Sharks a plug for those of you who are close enough to ever make a game. They don't get a whole lot of love often but until last night, they were on a 7-game winning streak. They lost to first-place Peninsula last night but are still 10-7.
Ryan Jeffers has also been making his mark. He's only had 15 AB's so far but he always seems to be crushing the ball. He's hitting .333 with 4 RBI.
Another potential Seahawk, 1B Mason Berne, is 4-13 with 2 RBI. The Topsail HS/Spartanburg Methodist product wasn't listed among our 12 newcomers but is expected to be officially added to the roster at a date to be determined.
Other local flavor/nice stories on the Sharks:
* New Hanover HS product Ward Coleman (Davidson) is hitting .286 with 11 RBI
* North Brunswick HS/Leland product Chris Graham (UNCG) is hitting .358 with 4 SB's
* Fan favorite Cletis Avery (Presbyterian College) is hitting .353 with 2 HR and 4 RBI and already has a "fan club". On certain days the fans can be found taking the trolley to and from the "Shark Tank" and heard chanting "Cletis! Cletis! Cletis!"
It doesn't hurt that yours truly does the PA Announcing. :)

The Sharks will be hosting a 1-game Quarterfinal game this Wednesday night, opponent TBD.
Last Thursday, in a sold out game, the team set a franchise attendance record with over 2,200 fans attending (over 3,300 tickets sold).
