Hammers 5-2 Winners Versus Greensboro
Rome pitcher Joe Kidd had a large part in his team subduing the Greensboro Grasshoppers, 5-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Kidd picked up the win for Rome, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 4-1. By defeating Greensboro, the second-place Hammers improved to 22-14.

The Hammers picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Kidd. "Successful pitchers do it."
