Benintendi homers twice for Greenville

It didn't take long for Andrew Benintendi to adjust to his new home.

In his second game in single-A, the former Arkansas center fielder went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBIs in the Greenville Drive's 7-5 10-inning win over the Greensboro Grasshoppers Wednesday.

Benintendi was called up from single-A short season Lowell Sunday, after batting .290 with seven home runs in 35 games. He went 0-for-4 in his single-A debut Monday, but bounced back Wednesday.

His first home run was a two-run shot to right center field and gave the Drive a 3-0 lead in the first inning.
