Crawford’s Home Run Sparks Giants Comeback Win
Two-way player Reggie Crawford hit the first home run of his professional career to help the Giants to a come-from-behind 9–4 victory over the Visalia Rawhide on Friday evening at Valley Strong Ballpark. Crawford’s blast was a game-tying two-run shot in the top of the sixth as San Jose overcame a 3–0 deficit to take their fourth straight game in Visalia to open the series. The Giants (36–19) maintained an eight-game lead in the first half North Division race and reduced their magic number to three to clinch a playoff berth.
