The Hickory Crawdads trumped the Delmarva Shorebirds, 10-2, at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. Hickory center fielder Joe Howgill was terrific. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Hickory starter Trip Pauly was credited with the win after throwing 92 pitches over 5.1 innings. His record now stands at 5-7. The third-place Crawdads have won 4 straight.

Hickory used the hitting of Jerry Burgess to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Crawdads on top, 2-0. For the game, Burgess had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Said losing manager Tripp Keister: "We had a bad night. It happens."
