How it finished
The Crawdads pushed past the Woodpeckers in 12 innings, breaking a 2-2 stalemate with a go-ahead run that came courtesy of a throwing error. Kaden Carpenter reached on the miscue from Woodpeckers first baseman Ben Tryon, allowing Josh Owens to score the decisive run. Both teams visit each other again on Saturday.
Seong-Jun Kim powered the Crawdads' offense with a home run and an RBI in the effort that lifted them to 81-47 on the season, while the Woodpeckers fell to 71-57.
Jesus Carrera was stellar for the Woodpeckers through six innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out four, but the bullpen could not hold the line in the marathon matchup.
Both lineups left runners stranded throughout the night: the Woodpeckers failed to bring home nine baserunners while the Crawdads left thirteen on base in a battle of missed opportunities.
The Crawdads are winners of 14 straight, 10-0 over their last 10. The Woodpeckers are losers of 4 straight, 6-4 over their last 10.
