Crawdads Down Heat, 8-1
Getting a good performance from designated hitter Josh Botello, the Hickory Crawdads defeated the Palm Springs Heat, 8-1. Botello was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Crawdads. Dustin Patton got credit for the win, improving to 4-0. He allowed 1 run on 8 hits in 5.1 innings. Rich Roberts recorded the save, his 1st.

Jeremy Alfano had a big 3-run home run for the Crawdads in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Hickory trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a forkball from Isaiah Robinson, who is tied for 5th in the StC in innings pitched with 94.1, and swatted a home run to left. It was his 10th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Crawdads ahead, 3-1.

"It felt good to put the barrel on the ball," said Alfano.

The second-place Crawdads hiked their record to 40-28.
