Nicholas Northcut took advantage of the baserunners and smacked one out of the park. The Drive then led 5-0.
No player would cross the dish until the bottom of the seventh inning when Hickory finally got on the board. Frainyer Chavez single brought Chris Seis home and Luisangel Acuna batted in Chris Seise.
Greenville tacked on more run in the ninth off the bat of Stephen Scott who brought home Lugo.
The Crawdads would also add one in the ninth, but it wouldn’t be enough for a victory.
