Greensboro Upended by Hickory, 9-6
Good production from designated hitter Dave Walters helped the Hickory Crawdads topple the Greensboro Grasshoppers, 9-6. Walters went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs for the Crawdads. Rob Kennedy picked up the save, his 25th. The win hiked the Hickory record to 63-61.

Hickory used a clutch at-bat from Artie Bonner to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Crawdads ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Their at-bats were really impressive against us," said losing manager J.A. Happ.
