Crawdads Spill Fireflies, 5-1
Elias Flores, who is tied for 7th in the SAL with a 2.61 ERA, never let the Fireflies get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his slider, to pitch the Crawdads to a win, 5-1. The 4th-place Crawdads now sit at 55-52.

Xavier Richards dealt the Fireflies a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with the bases loaded and Hickory leading 1-0, Richards hit a first pitch curveball for a run-scoring single.

"Elias was commanding his pitches," said Hickory manager Jordan Castro.
