Crawdads Win, Move to Within 1 Game of World Series
The Hickory Crawdads are one game away from a sweep after downing the visiting Palm Springs Heat at Crawdad Park, 7-5. Crawdads second baseman Danny Lebron was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2. Hickory now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Hickory took a 6-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Jerry Guerrero hit a clutch 2-run home run to bring Crawdads fans to their feet.

"I was seeing the ball well tonight," said Lebron.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Crawdad Park in Hickory.
