Grasshoppers Double Up Crawdads, 4-2
The Greensboro Grasshoppers and Hickory Crawdads played an exciting game.

Grasshoppers catcher Artie Williams put his stamp on his team's 4-2 win over the Hickory Crawdads. Williams was 2-4 with a home run and a walk for Greensboro in the contest. Brit Connolly, 13-4, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. Jody Watkins was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 15 of 21 save opportunities.

Jake Jackson had a direct impact on the outcome. Jackson contributed a run-scoring catcher's interference in the top of the seventh inning to put Greensboro up, 4-2.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Williams told the Greensboro Times.

With the win over Hickory, the Grasshoppers improved to 43-49.
