WP:Andrew Painter(3-0)

Hoppers(46-59/19-21)/BlueClaws(40-67/15-26)

BlueClaws' line:8-7-0
Hoppers' line:  0-5-2

Five runs by the Jersey Shore BlueClaws in the Top of the Fifth inning, and Jersey Shore will cruise past the Greensboro Grasshoppers, on Saturday night, at FNB/First National Bank Field…

But, the real power behind the ‘Claws was the work done by their starting pitcher, Andrew Painter…Painter came into the game at (2-0), with 109 strikeouts on the season, in his time with the Jersey Shore BlueClaws…Nine more K’s for Painter on Saturday night, and he improves to (3-0), for 2022…

Seven innings for Painter on Saturday, giving up 0 runs, on just four hits, with one walk and those nine strikeouts…Painter was the man for Jersey Shore, and he made sure the Shore was on the way to a Win, on Saturday evening…Painter a former #1 draft pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, and he signed for 4 million dollars, when he joined the Phillies out of high school, in Pompano Beach, Florida, and Calvary Christian School…

Outstanding effort by Painter vs. the Hoppers on Saturday night at FNB Field…The Hoppers Dariel Lopez had two of the Hoppers five hits in the contest, and the two Hopper errors, led to two BlueClaw runs…Nothing really working for Greensboro on Saturday, although the Grasshoppers starting pitcher, Sean Sullivan did strike out seven JS batters….

Greensboro Grasshopper Steak n Shake Players of the Game for Saturday night….Dariel Lopez going 2-4, and we also had as SnS POG, 6,522 crowd/attendance, and the Time of Game/TOG, at 2:05…
