Crawdads Nip Pilots, 4-3
The Hickory Crawdads faced a tough opponent in Denver pitcher Casey Levy, but found a way to pull out the victory at Crawdad Park by a final score of 4-3 in 20 innings. Levy went 6 innings and allowed no runs. Oscar Ayala snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Jim Unknown suffered the loss. The defeat makes Denver 7-12.

The Crawdads relied on right fielder Andrew Baltzley for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the 20th, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring single to seal the deal.

"We had a chance to win," said Denver manager Byung-sik Lee, "but we didn't get it done."
