The Sharks did regain the lead on a field goal in the second quarter, but that would be Jacksonville's last lead of the game.
They were playing catch-up on the scoreboard most of the night.
In the third quarter, Tyler King had to leave the game with an injury. King was hit on a helmet-to-helmet play in the second half.
In the fourth, the Sharks' defense came up with a fumble recovery, but the offense couldn't capitalize. After a Barker sack and another interception by Floyd, the Pirates added a field goal to make it 42-29.
Still fighting, Jacksonville made one final push. Barker found Jaden Stoshak for a touchdown, bringing the Sharks within seven. But time ran out on the comeback attempt, and the Pirates held on for a 42-35 win.
