Hammers 4-3 Winners Versus Hickory
Getting a good performance from designated hitter José González, the Rome Hammers defeated the Hickory Crawdads, 4-3. González went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 for the Hammers. Picking up his 11th save was 22-year old right-handed pitcher Lou Riley. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Hammers.

Jorge Mendoza drew 1 walk for Rome. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the sixth inning, Mendoza, who is tied for 9th in the SAL in bases on balls with 14, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Hickory hurler Jeff Kelly, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Hammers a 3-2 lead.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Mendoza.
