2011 season
2011 was a tremendous season for the Sharks. Making their island debut in 2011, the Sharks made an immediate splash by having 2,139 in attendance for opening day. On the field the Sharks sat in 1st place for a majority of the season, before injuries and a team wide virus saddled the once promising campaign.
The Sharks finished 23-20, and in 3rd place in the inaugural Futures Collegiate Baseball League season.
