Hillcats Score Late, Stun Nationals, 7-3
The Lynchburg Hillcats beat the Potomac Nationals, 7-3. Lynchburg designated hitter and Santa Maria, California, native Dwayne Wilson led the way. By defeating Potomac, the third-place Hillcats improved to 37-40.

Lynchburg got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Steve Miller. The first baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Hillcats ahead, 7-3. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"Not the sexiest win," said Hillcats manager Nick Markakis, "but I'll take it."
