Yassel Soler's second-inning home run gave the Hops the cushion they needed to hold off the Indians in a battle of wasted opportunities. Greensboro left 12 runners on base, but so did Hillsboro, though the Hops made their chances stick when it mattered. Soler and Carlos Virahonda led the way as Greensboro improved to 53-63. The teams square off again Thursday.
Soler connected on a fly ball to center field in the top of the second to put the Hops ahead 1-0 early, a lead Greensboro would not surrender despite both teams leaving runners stranded throughout the evening.
Virahonda paced the Hops offense, recording three hits and driving in one run as Greensboro built its advantage to 5-2 by game's end.
The Indians fall to 53-62 after leaving 10 runners on base in a game where neither lineup could capitalize on opportunities to break it open.
The Hops are winners of 4 straight, 6-4 over their last 10. The Indians are coming off a win, 5-5 over their last 10.
The Hops are up next home vs Dust Devils (Aug 27-29). The Indians are up next at Canadians (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
