LAKEWOOD, NJ - Greensboro scored five runs in the last two innings on Monday night to complete a comeback win over Lakewood, topping the BlueClaws 10-6 in the first game of their four-game series.

Greensboro took the lead with two runs charged to Chris O'Hare (0-1) in the eighth inning, tying the game on an RBI single by Cody Keefer, and Keefer later scored on a wild pitch to give the Grasshoppers the lead.

They would add three in the ninth inning off Tyler Buckley, including a two-run double by Chad Wallach, for the final 10-6 margin.
