Sunday, August 8, 2004 By Forrest Robleto It looked like the Sharks were going to extend their losing streak to five games but the Ducks gave them an inch and the Sharks took a mile. After falling behind 1-0 in the second then tying the score in the third and falling behind again in the fourth, the Ducks gave the Riversharks their chance when Tony Rodriguez picked up a ground ball and threw it into right field. This was the inch that allowed the Sharks their mile. Quincy Foster who was on second base trotted home for the tie. Camden’s Troy Cameron smacked a fastball out of the park scoring two runs to put the game away. |
