Losing Trend Continues for Greensboro
Greensboro got a terrific game from designated hitter Jim Unknown. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Little Rock, 3-2. Unknown was 1-2 with a home run. Alejandro Matute claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 4 innings. His record stands at 1-0. Greensboro has now lost 7 in a row.

Eddie Monaghan had a direct impact on the outcome. Monaghan contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the third inning to put Little Rock up, 3-0.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Little Rock manager Jose Moreno.
