Sharks 5, Glendale 0

Brooks Fitch struck out 12 in a complete-game four-hit shutout today over the Glendale Nitros. The Sharks got the only run they would need in the bottom of the first, but scored four more times in the second inning before coasting offensively the rest of the way.

Daniel Williams led off for the Sharks with a walk, stole second, advanced to third when Greg Kernodle reached on an error, and scored when Fitch grounded out to third. In the second inning, Jamie Van Soelen led off with a base hit up the middle. Geoff Roth followed with a hit and Alex Beck reached on an error that scored Van Soelen. Colbie Bell then doubled down the left field line driving in Roth and Beck. Brett Weinstock closed out the scoring with a double off the base of the fence in left.

After Weinstock's double in the second, Glendale retired fourteen Sharks in a row before Roth singled with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Roth was the only player for the Sharks to pick up two hits in the game.
