WP:Will Kobos(1-0)/LP:Tristan Garnett(0-1)/SV:Eddy Yean(1)
Hoppers(5-2)/BlueClaws(2-5)
Greensboro Grasshoppers down 3-0 after four innings…Hoppers post three runs in the fifth, and they had a very big seven-run seventh inning, and they end up winning this one, 9-5…The big pop from the Greensboro bats came from Hudson Head, who gave Greensboro a three-run HR in the top of the seventh inning…The Hoppers also got a Triple from Tsung-Che Cheng, and a Double off of the bat of Mike Jarvis…Three big extra-base hits for the Hoppers…Overall leading Hopper hitters were Abraham Gutierrez, who was 2-4, with 2 RBI…Will Matthiessen went 2-3, with a walk and 1 RBI…The Hoppers got two runs each from Cheng and Angel Basabe…Mike Jarvis turned his double into 2 RBI…
For the most part, a profitable night at the plate for the Greensboro Grasshoppers, as they made the most out of their eight hits…On a another positive note, it was stolen base number five on the year, for Sammy Siani…
Will Kobos picked up the win for the Hoppers’ pitching staff, while Eddy Yean collected his first save of the season, working an inning and a-third of scoreless baseball…Kobos gave up no runs, on one hit, with one walk and three strikeouts, over his two and a-third innings…Bubba Chandler got the start for the Hoppers and he gave up three runs on four hits, with four walks and two strikeouts…Chandler went three and two-thirds innings…
Nick Ward homered for Jersey Shore, and Marcus Lee Sang drove in two runs for the BlueClaws…
