Heat Score Late to Upend Crawdads, 7-3
The Palm Springs Heat extended their winning streak.

The Hickory Crawdads could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Ricardo Martinez into a win. Instead, the Palm Springs Heat prevailed, 7-3. Martinez threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball. The winning streak has now reached 6 games for Palm Springs.

Damian Willingham delivered a big hit for Palm Springs. The pinch hitter drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Heat ahead, 7-3. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

Willingham attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
