Hickory Beats Denver, 4-0
Dan Bruce pitched well, but his team, the Denver Pilots, still dropped a 4-0 decision to the Hickory Crawdads at Pilots Ballpark. The Crawdads lead the Stripes Conference West Division by 4 games.

The Crawdads got an important contribution from second baseman Jose Valdez, who in the top of the third hit a splitter to right-center for a 2-run triple. It was his 6th triple of the season and put the Crawdads ahead, 3-0.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Byung-sik Lee.
