Grasshoppers Heading to Round 2
Friday, September 26th , 2031
While it wasn't a complete mismatch, the Greensboro Grasshoppers showed themselves to be the superior team in the Round 1, downing the Brooklyn Cyclones 4-2.
"Nothing is ever easy in the South Atlantic League playoffs. Whether you're a favorite or an underdog, you can't take anyone lightly or you'll get burned," said Jorge Capdevila, who was named series MVP after a standout offensive performance.
Greensboro won the final game by a 2-1 count at MCU Park to clinch its spot in the next round.
They will hope to once again rely on Capdevila there, as he hit .409 with 0 home runs, 1 RBI 4 runs scored during the series.
The Greensboro Grasshoppers will play against the Bowling Green Hot Rods in the next round. Bowling Green won their series against the Asheville Tourists 4 games to 0. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
