Hillcats Win to Tie Series with Keys
With first baseman Alex Tarango leading the charge, the Lynchburg Hillcats defeated the visiting Frederick Keys, 8-5, in Game 2 of the Round 1. Tarango went 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once at Ed Smith Stadium to help Lynchburg force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-5 series.

Tarango had a consequential at-bat in the bottom of the fifth for the Hillcats. Coming up with runners on 1st and 2nd and Lynchburg trailing 4-3, he hit a 2-run double.

Keys manager Jeremy Smejkal did not take questions after the game, telling assembled reporters that he would hold a press conference "if and when we win the Round 2."

Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick.
