ROME, GA - On the backs of a five-run first inning, the Rome Braves took game two of a double header.
Game One:
Cedric De Grandpre would get the starting nod in game one against the Crawdads, hurling two scoreless frames to open up the game. Hickory would get on the board in the top of the third as Tucker Mitchell would connect on a single that drove in Daniel Mateo. Rome would equalize by scoring on a wild pitch from Emiliano Teodo. Hickory would jump back in front with a Max Acosta home run, and a Rome rally would fall short. Handing Rome a three run to two loss.
De Grandpre: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 1 SO
Niekro: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 SO
Game Two:
Rome would jump out to an early lead in game two and never look back. Brandon Parker would get the action started with a double, getting the Braves on the board one run to none. A Drake Baldwin triple, a David McCabe single, a Keshawn Ogans double would all contribute to a five run first inning for the Braves. Rome would tack on four more runs to jump out to a nine to nothing lead. Hickory would claw back by scoring one run in the forth, and two runs in the sixth, but the rally would fall short.
Parker: 3-3, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 HR
Halligan: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO
