Charleston Dirty Birds News Release
(Charleston, WV - June 25, 2015) - The West Virginia Power edged the Greensboro Grasshopper 2-1 on Thursday night at Appalachian Power Park. Colten Brewer put up another stellar outing against the Grasshoppers with nine strikeouts after previously striking out 11 in his other start against Greensboro on June 1.
West Virginia tallied their only two runs of the game in the third inning. Tito Polo drew a one-out walk and reached second on a groundout. Jordan Luplow hit an RBI single to drive home Polo and Connor Joe followed with an RBI double on the first pitch he saw.
The Grasshoppers came to within one with a run in the fourth. Rony Cabrera hit a single and reached second on a walk. He scored on a double by Austen Smith.
Brewer (2-4) earned the victory with another quality start against the 'Hoppers. Brewer struck out nine over six innings of work and allowed just one run on three hits. Luis Castillo (3-3) suffered the loss despite a quality start in his fourth professional start. Nick Neumann worked a scoreless ninth for his team-best 11th save of the season while Jose Regalado earned his fifth hold of the year.
