May River couldn’t come up with the timely hits needed in a 2-0 loss to visiting Ashley Ridge on Thursday.
Elijah Peter and Jack Hegan combined to limited the Swamp Foxes to three hits, but Ashley Ridge broke through on Chris Watkins’ two-run single in the third. That was enough support for Jacob Church, who struck out five Sharks in a complete game shutout.
John Pesaturo, Cooper George, Josh Patterson, Josh Reddy, and Zack Morillo each had a hit for May River.
The Sharks (8-5) host Ridgeland-Hardeeville for a Region 8-3A game Tuesday.
