The Lynchburg Hillcats earned a win at New Winston-Salem Ballpark, knocking off the Winston-Salem Dash, 10-6. On the bump for Lynchburg was right-hander José Nájera. He had a starring role in the triumph. Nájera, now 9-5, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 5, walking 0, and allowing 4 runs. The Hillcats lead the Northern Division by 3½ games.

In the top of the second, 26-year old second baseman Jesús Rivera hit a run-scoring double. The 19th double of the season for the Lynchburg shortstop put the Hillcats on top, 1-0.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Nájera said. "That's why you play the game."
