On Thursday night, the Hickory Crawdads’ catcher Tucker Mitchell went 2-4/HR/Run/RBI…Big home run from Mitchell, and it was a solo shot, coming in the third inning…’Dads third baseman Cody Freeman was 2-4/Double/2 Runs…Hickory’s DH Yosy Galan was also big for the Crawdads, going 2-4/Double/Run/3 RBI…
The Greensboro Grasshoppers’ starting pitcher Jaycob Deese took the loss, and Deese worked three innings, allowing two runs on four hits, with a BB/3 K’s, and he gave up one home run, and that was the shot by Mitchell…First mate reliever Valentin Linarez took over for Deese, and Linarez goes 2 2/3’s innings, giving up four runs, on four hits, with 1 BB/4 K’s…The Hoppers finishing pitcher, Dante Medoza was in there for one inning, giving up one run, on two hits, with 0 BB/1 K…The fourth Hopper pitcher of the night was Santiago Florez, and his night was 1 1/3 innings, with 0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 BB’S/2 K…Hoppers pitching had another tough night, but with the Hops run support missing, it makes it hard to scratch out a victory…
