Rome, GA - The Hickory Crawdads defeated the Rome Braves Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 3,145 fans by a final score of 4-2 extending the Rome losing streak to six games and the Hickory winning streak to six.

The Crawdads jumped on the Braves early scoring one in the second and two in the third to take a 3-0 lead. In the fourth inning Hickory would add another run for the 4-0 score as Cavagnaro reached on a fielding error by Michael Fisher, moved to second on a De Los Santos walk, and to third on a McClunce single. He later scored on a double play hit into by Miles Durham.

The Braves scored their first run of the afternoon in the fourth on an RBI groundout by Cody Johnson. The second run for the Braves came by way of a solo home run by Stephen Shults (1) but that's as close as Rome would get.

Brad Lincoln gets the win (1-0) for Hickory, Tom Boleska the save (3), and Jeff Locke takes the loss for the Braves (1-5).

Rome takes on Hickory again tomorrow at 7 PM. For ticket information, contact the Rome Braves at 706-378-5144 or log onto www.romebraves.com.
