Potomac Absorbs 4-3 Loss to Lynchburg
Lynchburg pitcher Bert Riggs did his part in helping his team beat the Potomac Nationals, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Kevin Dudley earned the save for Lynchburg, his 6th. The Nationals drop to 8-17.

Rhett Osborn provided a timely hit. The Lynchburg pinch hitter delivered a bases-clearing triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hillcats on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Riggs.
