The West Virginia Power powered their way to a 9-0 lead over the Greensboro Grasshoppers Tuesday night, only to hold on for a 9-6 win. The Power scored five runs in the 7th, behind home runs by Jose Osuna and Ashley Ponce. They added three more in the 8th to build the seemingly insurmountable lead of 9-0. The Grasshoppers roared back in the bottom of the 9th with six runs, three on a home run by centerfielder Brent Keys. With the tieing run at the plate, Porfirio Lopez finally got the final out. The Power and Grasshoppers will meet again tomorrow night.
