	L.P. Frans Stadium - Hickory Crawdads
		Hickory turned out to be the quintessential minor league ballpark experience, and then some.

	The Daily Times - www.delmarvanow.com - Salisbury, Md.
		It wasn't so bad at first, as Spoone retired three of four Crawdads in both the first and the second innings, while the Shorebirds (8-5) used an RBI groundout by Ryan Finan in their first at-bat, and Dahlberg's first home run of the season in the second, to grab a 2-0 edge.
		But in the third, Hickory utilized sudden control problems by Spoone to manage four walks, two singles, and bat around the order for six runs, forcing manager Gary Kendall to yank the righty (1-1) from his third start of the season rather early.
		Meanwhile, the Crawdads registered two more runs in the fourth off Basilio, and got to the Shorebirds' third hurler, Trent Baysinger, in the top of the ninth for two more runs to cap the rout.
