The Rome Emperors beat the Hickory Crawdads 10-6 on Thursday night in the third meeting of a six-game set at Hickory, NC. It was the sixth straight win for Rome. The teams will meet again tonight at 7 pm.
The Emperors will have games on Saturday evening and Sunday at Hickory to wrap up the 2024 regular season, and then it will be time for the playoffs! They will take on the Bowling Green Hot Rods next week in the best-of-three South Atlantic League South Division Series with high hopes of advancing to the best-of-three Sally League Championship Series. The division series will begin in Bowling Green and end here in Rome, according to Justin Franklin, Marketing and Media Relations Coordinator.
Franklin urges locals to pack AdventHealth Stadium to support the Emperors during their playoff run. Tickets are now available for $5 each on the team’s website at www.goemperors.com.
