The Lynchburg Hillcats dealt the Potomac Nationals a 6-2 loss at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium. António Herrera was the star on offense. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Orlando Castro picked up the win, lifting his record to 10-6 on the season. He struck out 3 and walked 3 in 5.2 innings, while yielding 2 runs.

"You just play the game as right as you can and see where you end up," said Hillcats manager Nick Markakis.
