LAKEWOOD, NJ - Marcus Greene broke a 1-1 tie in the 6th inning with a solo home run to open a five-run Hickory inning as the Crawdads topped Lakewood 8-3 on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Park.

Hickory's inning, after Greene's home run, included an RBI double by Jose Cardona, an RBI single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, an RBI single by Michael de Leon, and a double-steal on which Cardona was credited with a steal of home.

The Crawdads (35-18) open the four-game series with a win and the BlueClaws (25-26) dropped their sixth straight game in which they had a chance to get over .500.

Lakewood's Austin Davis (two), Matt Hockenberry, and Manaure Martinez all allowed runs in relief for the BlueClaws.

Lakewood took a 1-0 lead on a first inning bunt single by Rhys Hoskins but did not score again until the 9th inning. The game ended on a base hit by Derek Campbell which scored one run but Jiandido Tromp was tagged out between third and home for the final out of the game.
