Solid outing for Santiago Florez and we will give him a Steak n Shake Player of the Game nod too…Florez goes 3 2/3’s innings, allowing 1 run, on 3 hits, with 1 BB, and 0 K’s…Florez efficient enough to go ahead and get the win on Friday night…Cameron Junker came in to close out the game in the Top of the Ninth inning, and was his usual stopper/closer/finisher self…Junker with no runs, no hits, no walks, and two very big strikeouts…

The game was decided in the bottom of the second inning, when the Greensboro Grasshoppers came to the plate and posted 7 runs, on five hits, and the Hoppers sent 11 men to the plate that inning…Of the nine Hopper players in the lineup, seven different Hoppers scored runs in that second frame…
