In a low-scoring contest between the Frederick Keys and the Lynchburg Hillcats, Jimmy Duncan was the X factor. The Frederick right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Frederick reliever Jimmy Duncan got the win, raising his record to 3-1. Doug Bratcher was tagged with the loss. Jeff O'Brian converted his 7th save in 9 tries.

Chuck Ward drew 1 walk for Frederick. The 26-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Doug Bratcher. It was his 42nd RBI of the season.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Lynchburg manager Nick Markakis, "let me know."

Frederick raised its record to 63-60 with the win.
