Due in large part to left fielder Toby Brewer, the Savannah Sand Gnats sunk the Hickory Crawdads, 9-5. Brewer was 2-5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Daniel Merced went 5.2 innings for Savannah to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs. He scattered 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 3. His record improves to 10-5. Savannah now has a record of 53-44 with the win.

Savannah grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Brewer hit a 3-run home run off Chris Lair. His 2nd home run of the season put the Sand Gnats out in front, 5-2.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Brewer.
