Game Recap:
Greensboro lost to Bowling Green, 6-3, in the fifth and deciding game for the High A East championship. Michael Burrows started and went two innings, striking out five. He gave up only one hit, but it left the park. The Grasshoppers missed some chances of their own. They loaded the bases in the first with one out and didn’t score. They finally took the lead in the fourth after loading the bases with nobody out. A walk and a force out brought in two runs, but with second and third and one out, they couldn’t add on. In the bottom of the fourth, Bear Bellomy gave up five runs, four of them earned, although two of them scored after Austin Roberts took over. That made it 6-2 and the Hoppers never came back. They got their last run in the ninth on three singles. For the game, Greensboro got seven hits, all singles. Nobody had more than one hit.
DSL PIRATES BLACK
(10:30am)
Starting Pitcher: Yoldin De La Paz 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
Notable Performances:
Enmanuel Terrero 1-4, BB
Javier Rivas 2-5
Shalin Polanco 0-5
Omar Alfonzo 1-3, HR (1), BB
Jesus Castillo 2-3, BB
Game Recap:
The Black team (33-21) completed a game that was suspended after two and a half innings back on August 10. They were down, 1-0, then and ended up losing to the Red Sox Blue, 6-2. Yoldin De La Paz started the game way back when and came back to resume it. He ended up going five and two-thirds and gave up just one earned run, but two unearned runs cost him the loss. Javier Rivas and Jesus Castillo each had two hits. Catcher Omar Alfonzo hit his second home run (the box score says it was his first, which it would have been had he hit it back on Aug. 10, but he hit it today so it was his second no matter how you look at it). Osvaldo Gavilan had a triple.
The two teams had a game scheduled for today, but that was canceled.
