Hickory Crawdads News Release
Hickory, NC- The Crawdads dropped the series opener to the Wilmington Blue Rocks by a score of 6-0 despite a stellar start by Tekoah Roby.
Wilmington hit a solo homerun on the first pitch of the game off Roby. The right hander settled down after, allowing just one more hit across seven innings of work. He walked two and struck out five.
The game got further out of reach for the 'Dads in the eighth as Wilmington scored five runs. All five runs were charged to reliever John Matthews in his one inning. Destin Dotson pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

The series will continue tomorrow evening with Shark Night. It is also Kids Win Wednesday, presented by Arby's and Wine Wednesday, brought to you by Catawba Farms and Carolina Vines.
