Grasshoppers Best RiverDogs in Pitching Duel
The Greensboro Grasshoppers and Charleston RiverDogs put on a pitchers' duel.

Greensboro starter Max Esparza kept the Charleston offense from doing much damage. The right-hander leaned on his fastball in leading the Grasshoppers to a 2-1 win. Esparza got the win, improving to 5-12. He gave up 4 hits and walked 2 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run.

The RiverDogs had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Grasshoppers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old center fielder Paul Ott came to the plate. Ott hit a run-scoring triple on a 1-1 fastball from Charleston hurler Dale Harris. It was Ott's 1st triple of the year.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Ott said.

The last-place Grasshoppers own a record of 40-82.
