Crawdads Handle Lakewood, Snag 3-1 Win
Joe Howgill was a major factor in the 3-1 Hickory win over Lakewood. The Crawdads designated hitter threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball. Rob Kennedy nailed down his 9th save. Hickory has 3 straight wins, Lakewood 3 straight losses.

Howgill contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Hickory in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 1-0, Howgill took a sinker from Mike Savage and stroked the home run to left. His 2nd home run of the season allowed the Crawdads to leap in front, 2-1.

"Put the ball in play and good things will happen," said Howgill.
