Penley Supplies Juice in Columbia Win
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Columbia Fireflies defeated the Greensboro Grasshoppers, 8-6, in part because of designated hitter Sam Penley. Penley was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Fireflies. Weston Dagel earned the win. Ayrton Boogert took the loss for Greensboro. Rudy Royal was called on to finish, recording his 3rd save.

With Columbia trailing 1-0 in the top of the third, Penley hit a sinker from Ayrton Boogert for a 2-run double. It was his 10th double of the season and put the Fireflies ahead, 2-1.

"We scored enough runs to win," said Penley.

The Fireflies improved their record to 47-44 by beating Greensboro.
