Lynchburg Hillcats (62-54) - Low A
LYN 8 - SAL 9
A high scoring night in Low A saw 15 hits for Lynchburg. Christian Knapcyzk, Ryan Cesarini, and Fran Alduey all had 2 RBI nights. Tommy Hawke and Juan Benjamin also knocked in a RBI each of their own. However a fielding error and balk in the bottom of the 8th would ultimately contribute to Lynchburg’s loss.
