Hickory Crawdads Baseball

Greetings to everyone…
Just a couple of notes today…
I got an email yesterday from the club announcing a new Director of Broadcasting & Media Relations with the Hickory Crawdads. His name is Mike Janela. He’s replacing Landon Sears. I haven’t had a chance to meet Mike yet, but I will on Saturday. [...]

Greetings to everyone. The 2007 Hickory Crawdads baseball season is finally over after Saturday night’s playoff loss to the West Virginia Power. A championship this season just wasn’t meant to be. However, the simple fact that this team was in the playoffs this year was an extremely high point. After finishing the first half of [...]

The Hickory Crawdads defeated the Lexington Legends tonight by a score of 11-5 in Lexington. With the playoff spot in the bag, the win-loss stats don’t really matter anymore, so I won’t go into that :)

Another 3 hour 21 min game last night.  The umpires have to do something to move the game along.  At the very least keep guys in the box and make the strike zone a little larger than a postage stamp.
With the very real potential possibility that this past series is a preview of the playoff [...]

More on the game tomorrow, but fans will want to know that Stephen MacFarland was traded to the San Francisco Giants.  He was the player to be named later in the Matt Morris trade.  He has been assigned to Salem-Kizer (OR) in the Northwest League.
