Big Day for Gibson as Hillcats Down Nationals, 5-1
The Lynchburg Hillcats stymied the Potomac Nationals, 5-1, at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium. Ed Gibson had a good day at the plate. He was 4-4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Lynchburg. Picking up the win was Renaldo León. He went 9 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 6 and walked 3. Yes, it was a win for Lynchburg; but their 22-90 record is still nothing to boast about.

Also having an impact was second baseman Pat Sproul, who stroked a 2-run home run in the top of the second for Lynchburg. For the game, Sproul went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Hillcats manager Bobby Magallanes. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
