The Greensboro Grasshoppers ran out to a 3-0 lead, after 3 1/2 innings, and then the Hoppers led 6-1 at the end of five innings…Nine runs over the 6th, 7th and 8th innings from the Hickory Crawdads proved to be the difference in the ballgame, as the ‘Dads go on to win the contest, 10-7…Greensboro got a solid four innings from their starting pitcher, Justin Meis, but the bullpen blew up, and the control of the game went to the Crawdads, once the Hoppers dipped into the pen…Meis gave up one run, on five hits, with a walk and three strikeouts, over his four innings of work, on the mound…

The Hoppers bullpen gives up nine runs, on six hits with four walks, and five strikeouts…Grasshoppers’ reliever Jack Carey gave up two home runs to the Crawdads, and Carey was saddled with the blown save…

Thirteen hits from the Hopper offense, with both Endy Rodriguez and Ernny Ordonez homering…Rodriguez with a two-run shot, and Ordonez with a three-run clout…Ordonez with 4 RBI, and he now has 35 RBI for the season…Rodriguez with two RBI, and that now puts him at 34 RBI for the year…Abrahan Gutierrez with RBI #30 on Sunday…Six different Hopper hitters with two hits each, and that would be, Ordonez, Rodriguez, Gutierrez, plus Jacob Gonzalez, Dariel Lopez, and Luke Brown all with two hits a-piece…One hit on the day/night for Hoppers’ second baseman, Yoyner Fajardo…Top RBI man was Ordonez with his four runs batted in, plus the top run-scoring man was Jacob Gonzalez, with two runs scored…
