Crawdads Take Tight Tangle
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Hickory Crawdads got the win.

Westwood got a valiant performance from pitcher B.J. Gonzalez, but it wasn't enough to beat the Hickory Crawdads. Hickory won the game, 4-3. Gonzalez threw 7.0 innings of 2-hit ball for the losing team. Travis Erb snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season.

Hickory took advantage of an error in the top of the tenth inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Cory Sperber hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Crawdads in front, 3-2.

"It was a solid team effort," said Sperber after the game.

The first-place Crawdads have won 7 straight games.
