Clams Shut Out for First Time This Season at Wilmington

Updated July 09 2017
EDENTON, N.C.

The Edenton Steamers (20-13) were shut out by the Wilmington Sharks in a 2-0 loss at The Shark Tank.

The Sharks (18-17) scored a run in the first inning on an RBI single by Trevor McCutchin after an error by Connor Kopach to allow the runner to reach.

John Arel was excellent for the Steamers on the mound. Arel went six innings giving up just one run on three hits with seven strikeouts and one walk.

However, the Sharks got a tremendous outing of their own.

Breydan Gorham threw a complete game shutout while striking out 12 batters and walking none.

Wilmington added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth on two throwing errors on the same play to make the game 2-0 as the eventual final in the contest.

The Steamers will be off until July 12 with the All-Star Break from the July 9-11.

The Teal and Black will take on the Fayetteville SwampDogs on July 12 at Historic Hicks Field following the All-Star Break.

The Clams will have Jason Agresti, James Battley, Jamie Galazin, Carmen Giampetruzzi, Connor Kopach and Billy Wilson that will represent Edenton in the 2017 All-Star Game.
