Hillcats Topple Mudcats with Late Rally
The Lynchburg Hillcats defeated the Carolina Mudcats, 6-3, in Carolina League action at Grainger Stadium. Lynchburg pitcher Bert Riggs had a standout performance. The Hillcats lead the Northern Division by 6 games.

Lynchburg used the timely hitting of Doug Morrison to capture the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Hillcats on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

Morrison called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
