Hoppers grab their second straight win over the Asheville Tourists, and the Six-Game Set, set for this week at FNB Field, is now sitting at 2-2, with Game Five due up in about 16 and a-half hours…Carlson Reed and Alessandro Ercolani, the Greensboro Grasshoppers’ pitching staff, were the heroes on Friday night, with those two, Reed and Ercolani combining to throw a One-Hitter at the A’ville Tourists, and those two Hopper hurlers struck out 16 Tourists batters…
Not too shabby boys….That will sure help get you mighty close to the win column, say if you keep the other team from scoring…
Reed going 6 innings, allowing 0 runs, on 1 hit, with 1 BB/10 Ks…Ercolani goes 3 innings, with 0 runs, on 0 hits, with 1 BB/6 Ks…Might be the best tandem pitching effort this season, from two that were due…
