The ending to this one was like, DEVASTATION…Devastation….Devastated….Hoppers were down 2-1 going to the ninth inning, where they tied the game at 2-2, to send it to the 10th inning, where the Hoppers came up empty in the Top of the Tenth(10th), but when Hickory came to the plate in the Bottom of the Tenth(10th), it was Devastation…Here is what happened…
Luis Mieses homers on a line drive to right field. Cameron Cauley scores. Sebastian Walcott scores.
