Hillcats Win, 3-1, Extend Hot Streak
Julio Mendoza, who leads the CAR with a 1.15 ERA, never let the Nationals get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Hillcats to a win, 3-1. Mendoza got the win, improving to 5-1. He gave up 5 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. Justin Hernandez sewed up the save, his 4th.

Lynchburg used a timely hit from Kelly Whitfield to get the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hillcats ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I felt good out of the gates," said Mendoza.

With the win over Potomac, the Hillcats improved to 32-10.
