Hillcats Spank Mudcats, 12-2
Due in large part to first baseman Garry Hamilton, the Lynchburg Hillcats sunk the Carolina Mudcats, 12-2. Hamilton was 4 for 5 with 4 singles and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Zander Kelly went 7.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. The left-hander struck out 3 and walked 2. With the win, he ups his record to 8-2 this season. The first-place Hillcats, at 55-38, now lead their division by 4 games.

Lynchburg center fielder Doug Morrison contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a changeup to left-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 46th hit of the season and put the Hillcats ahead, 2-0.

Said losing manager John Cornely: "Give the Hillcats credit. They took advantage of our mistakes."
