The Hickory Crawdads had Ronny Henriquez on the mound today, and the 19 year old righthander had some problems, getting knocked out in the second inning. He allowed 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk in 1.1 IP, striking out 2. Jesus Linarez had a very nice outing in relief of him, throwing 4.1 IP, allowing 2 hits and 3 walks, striking out 4 and lowering his ERA to 1.99.
Josh Jung had a big game for the Crawdads — the Rangers first rounder had a single, a home runs and a pair of HBPs.
