Hagerstown, MD: The Hagerstown Suns (19-35) won game two of their four game series with the Greensboro Grasshoppers (26-29) 2-1 on Friday night at Municipal Stadium.

Strong pitching propelled the Suns to the victory, with starter Brad Meyers pitching six innings and allowing only one run. Relievers Joe Welsh and Josh Wilkie were equally effective, pitching the final three innings without allowing Greensboro to score.

The lone run for Greensboro came on the first pitch of the game from Meyers as John Raynor hit a wind-aided home run to right-center field.

The Suns failed to muster any offense until the 7th inning when Joe Napoli singled to start the inning. After a Jhonatan Solano fly-out, third baseman Trevor Lawhorn doubled to right-center field, setting up Francisco Guzman with two runners on and only one out.

Guzman delivered with a two-RBI single into left field, giving the Suns the lead for good.

Joe Welsh (2-2) got the win; while Wilkie picked up his eighth save of the season. Hyle (4-5) took the loss for the Grasshoppers.

The Suns and Grasshoppers will play the third game of the series on Saturday, August 18th at 7:05 PM. Gates will open at Municipal Stadium at 6:05. For tickets, or for more information about the Suns, call (301) 791-6266 or visit them on the web at www.hagerstownsuns.com.
