The Hickory Crawdads struggled with runners in scoring position, going 1-for-9 and leaving two runners stranded on first and second with two outs in a critical moment. Maxton Martin was called out on strikes on a pitch at least 4 inches outside, sealing a 3-2 defeat to the Columbia Fireflies (Kansas City Royals affiliate).

## Osorio and Cabrera Provide Offensive Spark

Hector Osorio drove in both of Hickory’s runs, going 1-for-2 with a 2-RBI single. Yeremy Cabrera shone, going 3-for-2 and adding his 6th stolen base of the season, but the Crawdads couldn’t capitalize on their chances to overtake the Fireflies.

## Perry Battles on the Mound

Starting pitcher Kamdyn Perry (L, 0-2) worked 4 innings, allowing 8 hits, 3 runs, and recording 2 strikeouts. Despite his efforts, the Fireflies’ timely hitting proved too much for the Crawdads to overcome.

## Game 2 Preview

The Crawdads look to bounce back in Game 2 of this 6-game series against the Columbia Fireflies. First pitch is set for 6:05 PM tomorrow night.
