Blue Rocks Throttled by Hillcats, 6-1
The Lynchburg Hillcats got a marvelous performance from pitcher Dan Ford. The right-hander kept the Wilmington offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 6-1 Lynchburg victory at Ed Smith Stadium. Ford yielded 1 run over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 3-1. The Hillcats improved to a lofty 62-22.

Jonathan Andrade had a big solo home run for the Hillcats in the bottom of the third inning. With Lynchburg leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old left-handed pitcher Danny Mata and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Hillcats on top, 2-0.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Ford.
