Four unanswered runs not enough for win
GREENSBORO, NC – The Winston-Salem Dash put up four unanswered runs across five innings and had the tying run at the plate in the ninth, but fell to the Greensboro Grasshoppers, 6-5, Thursday night at First National Bank Field.
Greensboro (47-43) wasted no time in the bottom of the first. Tres Gonzalez homered to lead off the game for the Grasshoppers, and three batters later, Will Matthiessen hit a two-run inside-the-park home run giving the home side an early 3-0 lead.

In the fifth, Chapelli struck again. With the bases loaded, the Cuba native singled to center plating two runs, making it 5-3.
Dash starter Tyler Schweitzer settled in after the first three innings, fighting through six innings allowing the five runs on five hits and punching out five. After Johnny Ray worked a clean seventh, the Dash cut it to a one run game. Caberea Weaver singled home a run in the eighth making it 5-4, but the Dash could not find anything more.
