A slow-building Drive offense finally saw a homer in game three, courtesy of Isaiah Jackson's 20th long-ball of the year. His two runs driven in gave Greenville an early advantage in the first inning.
Brown set the tone with a 1-2-3 first inning, but Luis Guanipa jumped on a pitch in the second to hit a leadoff homer, cutting the lead to 2-1.
Nazzan Zanetello answered right back with a home run in the bottom of the frame. Greenville kept rolling in the third, adding two more runs on an Antonio Anderson sac-fly and a Ronny Hernandez RBI double to extend the lead. Anderson singled in Jackson in the fifth, making it 6-1.
Meanwhile, Brown dominated the mound, giving up just one run on two hits through six strong innings. He ended his night with a well-deserved standing ovation from the Fluor Field crowd, finishing with five strikeouts for 103 on the season, leading all Drive pitchers.
