South Jersey Baseball:
Riversharks Late Rally Comes Up Short

Friday, August 6, 2004

By Don Delaney
Camden Riversharks Media Relations Manager

Justin Davies and Pat Lennon each had three hits and scored one run to lead the Long Island Ducks past the Camden Riversharks, 8-4, in the series opener of a three-game series at Campbell ’s Field on Friday night.  

It was the third straight loss the Riversharks who scored four runs on just five hits.  The Riversharks were able to pull even at 4-4 after seven inning, but the Ducks scored four times in the final two innings to pull away with the win.

Quincy Foster had three hits and scored a pair of runs as he reached base al four times up.  The game itself went back and forth through the first three innings as Long Island scored a run in each of the first three innings to build a 3-2 lead. 

Brett Laxton took the loss for the Riversharks as he allowed 13 hits and six earned runs in just over seven innings of work.  Joe Cotton recorded two outs in the seven inning to 3-0 on the year.

The Riversharks made a run at the Ducks in the bottom of the ninth inning as they scored one run and brought the tying run to the plate, but Jordan Zimmerman retired Tom Hage and Stoney Briggs for his first save of the season.

The Riversharks and Long Island Ducks will do it again on Saturday evening at Campbell ’s Field when Gloucester Catholic product Jaime Steward takes on Andy Shibilo.  Following the game all kids run the bases sponsored by Silver Diner of Cherry Hill.  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.
