Hillcats Win, 5-3, Extend Streak to 5 Games
Alex Gomez propelled his team to victory over the Salem Red Sox. The final score was 5-3, Lynchburg. Gomez yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 11. His record improves to 2-0. The first-place Hillcats improved to 31-10.

Norm Hudlin had a big 2-run home run for the Hillcats in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Lynchburg leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a curveball from 22-year old left-handed pitcher Shane Prince and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Hillcats on top, 4-1.

"Piling up wins will eventually take us to the promised land," said Hudlin.
