Grasshoppers Drop Hammers, 3-2
The Greensboro Grasshoppers faced a tough opponent in Rome pitcher Tommy Pierce, but did just enough to pull out the victory at NewBridge Bank Park by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Pierce went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. The victory makes Greensboro 5-2.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Greensboro left fielder Steve Hawkins, facing Lou Riley, had a run-scoring ground out. It gave the Grasshoppers the 3-2 win.

"The other side played a good game," said Rome manager Aaron Holbert. "You tip your cap to them."
