Red Sox Losing Streak at 6 After Extra-Inning Loss to Hillcats
The performance of Alex Zavala proved critical in helping Lynchburg beat Salem, 7-5, in 10 innings. The Hillcats shortstop was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Lynchburg reliever Justin Bollinger picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Danny Ayala absorbed the loss. The Hillcats are now 56-44.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder DeMario Abarca came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Salem pitcher Danny Ayala, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Lynchburg on top, 4-3.

"Losing feels worse," said Salem manager Arturo Cobian, "than winning feels good."
