**********The Greensboro Grasshoppers drew 12 Walks in this game, and not sure if I have seen that before…Also, both the Hoppers and Hot Rods committed 3 Errors per each team…Don’t see that every day, and you hope you don’t see that every day…
So, the Grasshoppers with 6 runs on five hits, they drew 12 walks, and then they also struck out 16 times as a team…
Hoppers winning pitcher Emmanuel Chapman worked two innings, giving up 0 Runs, on 1 hit, with 0 BBs/3 Ks to pick up the victory…Hot Rods’ starting pitcher Alex Cook went three innings, allowing 2 Runs, on 1 Hit, with 2 BBs/7 Ks…Rod’s reliever Gerlin Rosario walked five Hopper batters over his three innings on the hill…
Hoppers’ starting pitcher Hunter Barco had what might have been his best outing so far this season, working 5 Innnings and and giving up no runs on one hit, with 0 BBs/3 Ks…
Top Hot Rod hitter was Chandler Simpson, 1-4/BB/Run/2 RBI…
Lots of walks, there were errors and then the most important part of the puzzle, is that the Greensboro Grasshopper solved the puzzle, and they go on to get back in the Win column on Saturday night…
