Crawdads Triumphant, 5-4, at Knights Ballpark
Tim Baggett did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Ann Arbor Z's from being beaten, 5-4, to the Hickory Crawdads at Knights Ballpark. Baggett was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Dustin Patton. He tossed 87 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits. The Crawdads keep rolling, raising their record to 15-8.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Fred Hernandez? The Hickory designated hitter had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Crawdads on top, 4-2. For the game, Hernandez had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"This was a good win," said Hernandez.
