I believe I made a comment yesterday about how nothing good follows a lead-off home run by the opposing team… Would you believe it happened two days in a row? Mike Felix took the hit on Tuesday from Lexington’s Matthew Cusick. Today, it was the newest arm on the hill, Emilis Guerrero [...]
There was a lot “upside down” about tonight’s game in Hickory beside Marcus Davis on his way out to right field to start the Crawdads’ 4-game home stand against the Lexington Legends. I think Marcus Davis is someone we should keep our eye on though… I think he has great potential…

The Hickory Crawdads finished up their first 8 games of the season on Thursday with a 5-3 (.625) record and they are 1/2 game out of the lead in the Northern Division of the South Atlantic League. Hickory went 3-1 with the West Virginia Power (Brewers) and 2-2 with the Greensboro Grasshoppers (Marlins) during [...]
The Hickory Crawdads engaged in a pitching duel with the West Virginia Power in both games of today’s double header at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina. Dustin Molleken, by far, turned in the best performance of the day during game 1 of the set. Molleken took the mound against West Virginia [...]
The Hickory Crawdads finally got their 2008 season underway tonight against the West Virginia Power at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina. The weather was rather poor, and rain fell during most of tonight’s double header. The good thing about tonight’s double header is that we will complete this four-game series with [...]
The Hickory Crawdads, for the second consecutive day, tried to kick off their 2008 season in the South Atlantic League against the West Virginia Power at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina. Once again, the rain foiled our plans. It’s a bit ironic really. Last summer, we couldn’t buy a bucket [...]

The Hickory Crawdads hosted a “National Goof Off Day” event at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina today. Items on the agenda were national anthem try-outs, and easter egg hunt for the kids, and a wiffle ball game (which I didn’t get to stay for…) HERE are some photos from the events [...]
