Down Go Fireflies Again, 9-7
The Greensboro Grasshoppers beat the Columbia Fireflies, 9-7, at First National Bank Field. The win was due in part to right fielder Tim McKnight, who was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Greensboro pitcher Orlando Villa earned the win, hiking his record to 11-1. Isnael Riggs suffered the loss. Columbia's current losing streak has reached 10 games.

Chris Hamilton had a big grand slam home run for the Grasshoppers in the bottom of the second inning. With Greensboro leading 2-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a cutter from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Isnael Riggs and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Grasshoppers on top, 6-0.

"I told my wife I'm not changing my underwear again until we win," said losing manager . "I haven't seen her since last Tuesday."
