Lupu 4-for-4 in Aurora Win
The performance of Constantin Lupu proved critical in helping Aurora beat Greensboro, 8-3. The Paints first baseman went 4-4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The loss drops Greensboro to 5-6.

In the top of the seventh, Neil Wetzel stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Naturals were trailing 6-3, but had runners on 2nd and 3rd. That's when Kang Zhou made a terrific pitch and Wetzel lined out. Gone was the dream of a Greensboro comeback.
