The Hickory Crawdads began the second half of their 2007 season by splitting a four-game series with Greenville. Jared Hughes gave up 2 runs to lead off the game, but the Crawdads responded in the bottom of the 1st inning with a solo homer by Alex Presley and a 2-run homer by Bobby Kingsbury, giving Hughes the lead. The bottom fell out after that. Greenville scored 9 unanswered runs, including a 4-run inning and a 3-run inning, as Hughes gave up 7 runs on 8 hits to take his 5th loss of the season. Jared Keel and Jim Negrych each homered and Kris Watts went 4-for-4 to lead the Crawdads’ offense as they came back to beat Greenville in the second game of the series, 8-5.
