Grasshoppers 8-5 Winners Over West Virginia
Behind the hitting of José Baca, the Greensboro Grasshoppers stopped the West Virginia Power, 8-5. Baca went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Grasshoppers. António Rodríguez, now 8-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 1.2 innings. Merlin Mullins got the save, his 3rd in 3 chances.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Merlin Mullins didn't flinch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and West Virginia trailing 7-5, Mullins retired Ken Morris to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Mullins, with a wink.

Greensboro currently is in first place in the Northern Division at 52-32.
