Hillcats Nip Nationals, 1-0
In a tight tilt between the Lynchburg Hillcats and the Potomac Nationals, Orlando Castro was the difference-maker. The Lynchburg right-hander excelled in his team's 1-0 win in 10 innings. The win leaves Lynchburg with a record of 8-5.

The decisive blow was delivered by Geoff Mann in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Edgardo Souza to win the game for Lynchburg. The home crowd went nuts.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Castro. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
