Lynchburg Makes It 6 Straight with 3-2 Win
Lynchburg Hillcats right-hander Larry Michelotti pitched a good game against the Potomac Nationals at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium, leading his team to victory, 3-2. In 7 innings, Michelotti surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. Adam Bolle earned his 4th save in 5 chances.

Had Stuart Wyffels not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Wyffels hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Hillcats.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Wyffels said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."

Lynchburg is sitting pretty at 95-28.
