Crawdads Take Tight Tangle
Hickory starter Dave Rankin pitched well against the Greensboro Grasshoppers at NewBridge Bank Park. The right-hander led his team to a win, 2-1, in 10 innings. Rob Kennedy earned the save for Hickory, his 21st. Hickory is now 56-54, while Greensboro is 52-58.

Hickory used a timely hit from Joe Howgill to get the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Crawdads ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"This game tested our mettle," said Rankin.
