Fireflies Pocket 6-2 Win Against Hickory
Columbia Fireflies starter George Faint turned in an exceptional performance against the Hickory Crawdads at L.P. Frans Stadium, resulting in a Columbia win, 6-2. Faint picked up the win for Columbia, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 6-8. Columbia has run its win streak to 4 in a row.

Josh Roberts drove in one run for Columbia. The 22-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Alex Duenas. It was his 31st RBI of the season.

"I think every team will tell you that the pitching sets the tone, especially the starters," said Columbia skipper Tony Acosta.
