Crawdads Take Down Pilots, 5-4
The Hickory Crawdads topped the Denver Pilots, 5-4, in 11 innings at Crawdad Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Hickory pitcher Ray Fight. The win belonged to Josh Reed in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Billy Merner took the loss for Denver. After losing, Denver is 7-14.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Hickory first baseman Ryan Ward, facing Billy Merner, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Crawdads the 5-4 win.

"This place sure got loud," said Ray Sanchez, the Hickory manager.
