Hillcats Rack Up 4-2 Win Versus Frederick
Lynchburg got a strong outing from Orlando Castro as the Hillcats defeated the Frederick Keys, 4-2, at Harry Grove Stadium. At 32-38, the Hillcats are currently last in the Northern Division.

Mike Smith came through with a big-time hit for Lynchburg. The shortstop smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 3-0. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Lynchburg skipper Nick Markakis. "I can't complain."
