Gonzalez Shackles Greensboro in 2-0 Witches Win
The Greensboro Grasshoppers went down to defeat to Gio Gonzalez and his Wichita teammates. The final score was 2-0 in favor of the Witches. Ted Power earned his 5th save in 5 tries. The win is nice, but Wichita still has an embarrassing 18-66 record.

Gonzalez, who dominated for Wichita, earned the victory to move to 3-11. He was in control the whole game, scattering 1 hit over 6 innings, while striking out 13. Greensboro batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Wichita manager Danny Mullen said.
