The game scoring starts off in the second when a former USC Gamecock Josiah Sightler hits a homerun and its quickly 1-0 with no outs. Then RF Sammy Siani nails a two-run homer over the Visitor Bullpen in center and its 3-0 with no outs. Then Jase Bowen hits a 3-run homerun, and the Grasshoppers are having an offensive feast and its 6-0 with yet another Homerun by Jack Brannigan and its now 7-0 here in the top of the 2nd inning and the Drive make a call to the bullpen as Chen is out after a rough outing. The Grasshoppers score another in the fourth inning and its now 8-0.
