In a tight tilt between the Lynchburg Hillcats and the Frederick Keys, José Nájera was the deciding factor. The Lynchburg right-hander spearheaded the 2-0 win. The Keys fall to 9-15 and continue their sub-.500 start to the 2026 season.

Donnie Robinson took Frederick hurler Ken Key deep in the bottom of the eighth. His 2-run home run put the Hillcats on top, 2-0. In all, Robinson had 2 singles in addition to the home run, while going 3 for 4.

"It's nice to get the results when you're feeling good and throwing the ball well," said Nájera after the game.
