For those who left early - and you know who you are - you missed a fitting ending to a long game.

Somerset's Billy Hall hit a one-out solo home run in the top of the 13th and the Patriots scored two subsequent runs for a 10-7 win Tuesday night over the Camden Riversharks.

By the time Hall's deep fly to right sailed over the wall, most of the 4,042 fans at Campbell's Field had already gone home for the night.

``It was an accident,'' Hall said of his second home run of the year. ``He threw me a fastball on the pitch before, and he came back with the same pitch.''

With one out, reliever Anthony Briggs, the fifth pitcher for the Sharks on the night, served up an inside fastball that Hall hit out of the park.

It was only fitting that the final run was scored on a home run, as the night featured a combined 13 extra-base hits.

``We're starting to swing the bats a lot better,'' Sharks manager Wayne Krenchicki said. ``It's still not being able to put it together for a full game. You would think a 5-0 lead would be comfortable, but (Somerset) is a good hitting team. The starting pitching was horrible for both teams tonight.''

Winning pitcher Luis Arroyo went three perfect innings, striking out eight of a possible nine batters.

The Sharks (25-42 overall, 1-3 half) did the unthinkable, at least for them, as they led after one inning 5-0. The five runs marked only the third time all season that the Sharks have scored five or more runs in an inning.

Dwight Maness led off the inning with his fifth double of the season. A single by the recently signed Jesus Azauje scored Maness with the first run of the game.

Azauje was then caught stealing, which in most games would have signaled the end.

Instead, Jacob Brumfield drew a walk and, after Guillermo Garcia struck out for the second out of the inning, Darrell Nicholas singled to bring Brad Strauss to the plate.

Strauss turned on a pitch on the inside corner and drove the ball out of the deepest part of the park for his third home run of the year. The ball traveled an estimated 423 feet and was easily the longest home run for the Sharks at home this season.

Unfortunately for Camden, Somerset (43-24, 4-0) has shown an unbelievable ability to come back time and time again this season. The Patriots have won a league-high 14 games in their final at bat. Of course, they didn't wait that long on this night.

It didn't hurt that they had Greg Blosser in the lineup.

Somerset battled to tie the game in the third, fourth and fifth innings. In the third, Blosser hit his second home run of the night, a three-run shot after a solo home run in the second, to tie the game 5-5.

Blosser has been on a tear, reaching base 11 consecutive times and going 9-for-9 in that stretch. It ended with a popout in the 12th.

``I just tried to stay relaxed and comfortable,'' said Blosser, who upped his season total to 14 home runs. ``The team is in a groove right now and things like that happen. It was my turn tonight.''

His third home run of the night, tying a league record recently matched by the Sharks' Garcia last Saturday in Atlantic City, tied the game at 7-7 in the fifth.

Both teams settled down as neither team scored until the fateful 13th inning for Somerset.
