Saturday game - Hickory 7, NR 5
I only saw the last couple of innings. Hickory escaped with a victory. The Field Ump REALLY blew call at 1B with the tying run at 3B. To the Hawks' credit, Sr. C Sammy Halloway battled Erickson Keeton and flipped the game winning single to LF.
I heard Erickson hit an absolute BOMB and JUST missed one in the last inning with a runner on 2B.
Overall, a very good game. Hickory will surprise a few teams this year. NR will catch fire soon enough. Their frosh contribute every game. Once the team puts it all together, they will be dangerous.
