The Greensboro Grasshoppers beat the Hickory Crawdads, 5-4, at L.P. Frans Stadium. Steve Bishop, in particular, was impressive. He went 1-3 with 2 walks, while scoring 2. Greensboro reliever Jody Watkins got the win, raising his record to 5-3. Rob Kennedy was tagged with the loss. After today's action, Greensboro sits at 35-39; Hickory slips to 38-36.

It could have been a different outcome for Greensboro, had it not been for Steve Blackburn, the 22-year old catcher . Blackburn contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Greensboro up, 5-4.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Hickory manager Joakim Soria.
