Crawdads Earn 2-1 Win Versus BlueClaws
|
Hickory turned a good effort from starter Dave Rankin into a win over the Lakewood BlueClaws at L.P. Frans Stadium. The final score was 2-1. Hickory reliever Rob Kennedy picked up the win. Jorge Gonzáles, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2026 draft, took the loss for Lakewood. Tim Lewis closed it out for his 1st save.
The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Dave Walters came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Lakewood pitcher Garry Gilbert, he hit a 1-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Hickory on top, 2-1.
"I have a really good team behind me," Rankin said. "I trust them 100 percent."
The victory gives Hickory a record of 67-64.
