Danny Griffin left his imprint on the 8-3 Lynchburg win against the Winston-Salem Dash. Griffin, who is tied for 10th in the CAR in bases on balls with 49, was 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the win was José Nájera. He went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 9 and walked 2. Doug Bratcher recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 2 for 3.

Clarence Reed had a big 2-run home run for the Hillcats in the bottom of the first inning. With Lynchburg trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 21-year old left-handed pitcher António Perales and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Hillcats on top, 2-1.

Griffin attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."

Lynchburg leads the Northern Division by 7 games.
