Hickory Wins, 5-4, Over Tourists
The Hickory Crawdads had to overcome a fine effort from Asheville pitcher Greg Smith to win, 5-4, at McCormick Field. Smith went 7.1 innings and allowed 3 runs. Rob Kennedy collected save number 6. The loss makes Asheville 16-20.

Hickory used a timely hit from Juan Mena to get the win. The third baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Crawdads ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Asheville manager Dave Turgeon. "The effort was great."
