Hillcats Net 3-1 Win Over Nationals
The Lynchburg Hillcats got a good effort from starter Juan Benitez in defeating the Potomac Nationals at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium. The final score was 3-1. Benitez, now 4-1, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 0, and allowing 1 run. The win hiked the Lynchburg record to 26-17.

It could have been a different outcome for Lynchburg, had it not been for Ramon Ramires, the 23-year old catcher . Ramires contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put Lynchburg up, 2-0.

"I still think this team can play even better," Ramires told the Lynchburg Herald.
