Fireflies Snatch Late-Game, 10-9 Win
The Columbia Fireflies weathered an outstanding game by Hickory designated hitter Victor Ritta to topple the Crawdads, 10-9. Ritta was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Dave Ives, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-1. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. With the win, the Fireflies are 38-89.

The decisive blow was delivered by Mike Davis in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 3-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Valencia to win the game for Columbia. The home crowd went nuts.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Davis.
