Greensboro Grasshoppers Tuesday Night Baseball Report…
brought to us by Mike Causey for North Carolina Insurance Commissioner…..
It was like watching an offensive onslaught, with the Greensboro Grasshoppers getting 4-4 nights, plus walks from mewcomer Omar Alfonzo, and from season-long regular, Mitch Jebb…
This was Alfonzo’s first game as a Greensboro Grasshopper and he hit a two-run Home Run, in his first at-bat…Alfonzo gave the Hoppers a 2-1 lead…Alfonzo finished the night 4-4/HR/Double/BB/Run/4 RBI…How crazy is that for your first game with your new team??? Just in from the Pittsburgh Pirates Class A Bradenton Marauders, Omar became a super-quick star…
Mitch Jebb has been the posterboy for Mr. Baseball Magazine over the past six weeks, and he has just been killing it in his overall game approach…The results have been speaking for themselves, and Tuesday night was no different…Jebb goes 4-4, and he started things off with a perfectly executed bunt single…Jebb again, 4-4/Double/BB/3 Runs scored/RBI…Jebb also ended with his 31st Stolen Base of the 2024 season….
Some kind of nights from those two guys…
