7-3 Win Gets Columbia to 60-48
Fireflies second baseman Dave Flores left his mark on his team's 7-3 win over the Hickory Crawdads. Flores was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Columbia in the contest. The winner was George Faint, who threw 92 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 5 hits. The Fireflies now own a record of 60-48.

Columbia used a well-timed hit by Steve Freeman to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Fireflies ahead, 4-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Whenever I help the team," said Flores, "I feel like I earned my paycheck."
