Hillcats Score Late to Beat Pelicans, 9-8
The Lynchburg Hillcats topped the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, 9-8, with right fielder Len Carter playing a big role. Carter went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Hillcats in the win. Lynchburg reliever Kevin Dudley picked up the win to move to 2-0. Charlie Best suffered the loss. With the loss, Myrtle Beach sinks to 10-9.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Lynchburg pinch hitter Geoff Mann, facing Charlie Best, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Hillcats the 9-8 win.

"I still think this team can play even better," Carter told the Lynchburg Gazette.
