Heat Rally Late to Nip Crawdads
The Hickory Crawdads and Palm Springs Heat provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Hickory Crawdads got a superb performance from pitcher Ray Fight, but the Palm Springs Heat still won the game, 5-4. Fight threw 6.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The win went to Ross Lefkowitz in relief. His record improves to 5-6. Jonathan Marich took the loss.

The Heat were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 28-year old shortstop Matt Evert landed a big blow. He turned a 0-2 fastball from Paul Mitchell into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Heat Ballpark denizens into a frenzy and sent the Heat home with a thrilling 5-4 win.

"It's great when the crowd is energized," Evert said.

Palm Springs is now 59-80, while Hickory is 83-56.
