The Lynchburg Hillcats beat the Carolina Mudcats by a score of 6-2. Lynchburg second baseman Danny Griffin deserved the lion's share of the credit. Griffin went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Hillcats. Lynchburg reliever Raúl Villalobos was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Ron Conrad.

Early in the game, Griffin had a 2-run double for Lynchburg. It was his 30th double of the season and put the Hillcats on top, 2-0.

"I think every team will tell you that the pitching sets the tone, especially the starters," said Lynchburg skipper Nick Markakis.
