Then you had the Hoppers’ pitching staff, with three innnings each from J.P. Massey, Santiago Florez, and Jaycob Deese…The work of these three pitchers over the Second thru the Seventh Innings was Perfect…Over those six innings, the staff gave up No Runs, No Hits, No Walks, and they struck out six Bowling Green batters over those six frames….Overall the Hopper pitchers tossed a two-hitter on Saturday night, with the Rods’ Shane Sasaki leading off the game with a Double, and later scoring on a ground out, in the first inning, and then Bowling Green got a leadoff Double from Nick Schnell in the eighth inning…A two-hitter and six straight innings of Perfect Baseball, and then Greensboro got Bowling Green hitters three-up/three-down, to close out the game, in the top of the ninth inning….
Some kind of game tonight from Termarr Johnson and Brenden Dixon, and some kind of games from J.P. Massey, Santiago Florez, and Jaycob Deese….
Turned out to be another huge Hoppers victory, and two of the Hoppers best players, Jase Bowen and Jack Brannigan were resting, and not in the lineup tonight…
