In their final match-up of the six-game series against the Hickory Crawdads, the Blue Rocks dropped their momentum and two-game win streak, losing 1-0.

After winning 10-3 on Friday, April 22, and 3-2 on Saturday, April 23, fans expected the Blue Rocks to continue their progress and finish out this series strong. Instead, the Blue Rocks would fail to follow through, leaving men on base and struggling to get there in the first place.

The first two innings held promise for the team, as players Jordy Barley, Darren Baker, Drew Mendoza, Onix Vega and Gage Canning all saw time on base. This is where the Blue Rocks’ trend of leaving players on base began and would continue throughout the rest of the seven innings.

At the top of the third, fans saw the only score of the night come from the Hickory Crawdads when Christian Inoa hit a sacrifice fly to center field, sending Scott Kapers, who reached on a walk, home.
