Tight Tilt Goes to Pilots, 3-2
The Hickory Crawdads and Denver Pilots provided some drama for the home crowd.

In a low-scoring tilt between the Denver Pilots and the Hickory Crawdads, Tom Rise, who is tied for 7th in the StC in innings pitched with 72.2, was the difference-maker. The Denver right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Billy Merner earned save number 14 this season.

The Crawdads had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Pilots going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old first baseman Stuart Swan came to the plate. Swan hit a solo home run on a 1-2 cutter from Hickory hurler Matt Schapp. It was Swan's 9th home run of the year.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Swan said after the game.

The win makes Denver 29-26.
