(Hickory Crawdads)
Hickory, NC - The Crawdads fell to the Bowling Green Hot Rods by a 5-2 score on Tuesday night at LP Frans Stadium.
The Crawdads fell behind 4-0 against the Hot Rods before Sebastian Walcott led off the fourth inning with a sharp single to center. The base hit for Walcott continued a strong offensive stretch for the shortstop, marking his 13th hit over the last eight games.
Luis Mieses followed up the Walcott safety with a double to right field, advancing Walcott to third.
Quincy Scott got the 'Dads on the board, scoring Walcott on a ground out to pitcher Owen Wild, cutting the Bowling Green (35-29) lead to 4-1.
In the seventh, the Crawdads would score again, as Ian Moller doubled home Anthony Gutierrez to trim the lead to 4-2.
That would be as close as the 'Dads (27-37) got, as Jack Hartman nailed down his first save of 2024, preserving the win for Wild to move his record to 2-0. The win for the Hot Rods keeps pace with the Rome Emperors, who won 1-0 over Greenville, maintaining the Emperors' one-game lead for the South Division's first-half title.
Tomorrow, Ryan Lobus gets the start for Hickory, as the Crawdads look to even the series with a 12:05pm matinee. The game will be broadcast at 11:50am on MiLB.TV, the Bally Live app and www.hickorycrawdads.com.
