Denver Tacks 5-1 Loss on Hickory
John Anderson was a vital contributor to the 5-1 Denver victory over Hickory. The Pilots shortstop was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Reliever Juan Santana picked up the win. His record improves to 7-5. Zachary Christman took the loss. Denver occupies last place in the Stripes Conference West Division at 55-76.

Anderson had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a first pitch sinker from Zachary Christman, he banged a grand slam home run to left, giving the Pilots a 5-1 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Anderson.

Said losing manager Ray Sanchez: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
