Islands put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's fourth consecutive shutout on Thursday. They didn't even let the Groves Rebels on the board, marking the Sharks' second-straight 16-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Sharks, who have now won ten contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Marlon Zaragoza was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cameron Brown, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2025. Andrew Harris was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.

Islands' victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-17. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Groves, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 12 of their last 13 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-17 record this season.

Islands will square off against Jenkins County at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Groves does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
