Crawdads Get Clutch Win, 5-4
The Hickory Crawdads, with some walk-off drama, delighted their fans at Crawdad Park.

The Hickory Crawdads took Tucson pitcher Alex Mendiola's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Crawdad Park. The final score had Hickory getting past the Raccoons, 5-4. Mendiola went 5 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 1. Jadon Bernard picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-1. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Hickory. That's when Hector Mejia hit a run-scoring double off 25-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Mejia said in his postgame press conference.

Hickory is now 78-44. Tucson is 43-79.
