Houston 5-for-6 Against Winston-Salem
A jubilant Preston Houston joined the postgame press conference at Truist Stadium to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Winston-Salem Dash pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Hickory Crawdads center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 8-6 Crawdads win.

"He made it look easy," said Eric Pardinho, manager of the Dash. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Preston Houston singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, hit a two-run double in the 8th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.

Batting .274 to date, Houston has 4 home runs and 9 RBIs.
