South Jersey Baseball:
Riversharks Rally Past Pennsylvania, 4-3

Tuesday, July 27, 2004

By Don Delaney
Camden Riversharks Media Relations Manager

Dwight Maness’ RBI-single in the bottom of the eighth inning scored Brad Strauss and sent the Riversharks to a 4-3 win over the Pennsylvania Road Warriors on Tuesday morning at Campbell ’s Field.

It was the second-straight win for the Riversharks over the Road Warriors as they improved to 5-7 during the second half.  The Riversharks were able to overcome three solo home runs by Pennsylvania as they scored single runs in the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth to earn the win.

Evan Thomas battled through a tough start to shut down the Road Warriors over his final six innings on the mound to earn the victory.  Todd Rizzo entered in the ninth and held down the fort to earn his seventh save of the year.

After using the a fourth inning home run by Troy Cameron and a fifth inning blast by Tom Hage to pull within a run, 3-2, the Riversharks manufactured a pair of runs in the seventh and eighth to decide the game. 

Tony Rodriguez led the offense with three hits, while Ryan Jones and Strauss each had two hits apiece.

The Riversharks begin a three-game series against the Nashua Pride on Wednesday, July 28 at 6:35 p.m.  The game will feature fireworks after the contest for all fans in attendance. Tickets are available for all Riversharks home games and can be purchased by calling (856) 963-2600, on the web at www.riversharks.com or by visiting the Campbell ’s Field ticket office during normal business hours.
