Crawdads Score Late to Beat Bobcats, 4-3
The Hickory Crawdads beat the Walnut Park Bobcats, 4-3, in part because of first baseman Josh Botello. He went 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. Mike Dean, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. Brian Aldridge was credited with the save for Hickory, his 7th of the season.

Had Bill Dennis not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Dennis hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Crawdads.

Hickory manager Ray Sanchez commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."

The Bobcats drop to 13-13 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2024 season.
