Winston-Salem Dash 10, Greensboro Grasshoppers 1
WP:Frankeli Arias(2-0)/LP:Bryan Mena(0-2)
WS Dash' Line-10-13-1 Hoppers' Line- 1- 6-3
Grasshoppers now sit at (14-11) for the season, while the Dash stand at (16-9)…
The Greensboro Grasshoppers led 1-0, after a half-inning, and then got out-scored 10-0, the rest of the way…Greensboro with 6 total hits, from Six Differen Players, with Shalin Polanco going 1-3/Triple, while Wyatt Sanford was 1-4/Double/Run, and Jared Jones went 1-4/Double…The Hoppers’ Axiel Plaz drove in the Hoppers only run of the game with his single/RBI, in the Top of the First Inning…
Three errors on the night for the Greensboro Grasshoppers, and the WS Dash sure didn’t need any help, as they pounded out 13 hits, and they had Five(5) players with Two(2) hits each…In the Dash Two-Hit Club, were Colby Shelton 2-4/Double/BB/2 Runs, Anthony DePino 2-4/Double/BB/Run/RBI, George Wolkow 2-5/4 RBI, and Wolkow had Two, Two-Run Singles, Boston Smith was 2-4/HR/BB/Run/RBI, and Ely Brown 2-2/Double/3 BBs/2 RBI….Caleb Bonemer from the Dash, was 1-3/2 BBs/3 Runs…Been a Busy Week for Bonemer…
Adding fuel to the WS Dash 13-hit fire, was the fact that the Dash drew eight(8) Walks off of the Hoppers’ pitching staff…The Hoppers could only muster up one Walk on the evening…Middle reliever Frankeli Arias got the Win for Winston, working 3 Innings, and Arias gave up 0 Runs, on 1 Hit, with 0 BBs/1 K…Dash starter Gabe Davis went 4 Innings, and allowed 1 Run, on 3 Hits, with 1 BB/9 Ks…The Nine(9) Strikeouts by Davis loomed very large for the Dash defensive side of things…
The Grasshoppers only had one pitcher, Yulian Quintana, who did not give up at least 2 Runs…Quintana goes 1 Inning, and he gives up 0 Runs, on 0 Hits, with 1 BB/1 K…The Grasshoppers used four other pitchers, and they each gave up at least two runs…
Two things really stick out from the game, when you look back on the Greensboro Grasshoppers…The 3 errors on the defense, and the 8 Walks by the Hoppers’ pitching staff…Also the Hopper hitters had just six hits, and they only drew that 1 Walk, while striking out 12 times…Some key numbers, and let’s hit on the Game Details next…
