Hillcats Losers, 3-1, to Salem
The Salem Red Sox knocked off the Lynchburg Hillcats, 3-1, in Carolina League action at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium. Salem pitcher and Caracas, Venezuela, native Angel Villegas had an outstanding performance. In 5.1 innings, Villegas surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. He allowed no runs. Efrain Fernandez locked down his 7th save.

The Hillcats had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Red Sox going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old third baseman Jose Roman came to the plate. Roman hit a solo home run on a 2-2 cutter from Lynchburg hurler Miguel Gauna. It was Roman's 13th home run of the year.

"Angel looked very determined to have a good game," said Salem manager Arturo Cobian. "He was totally focused and he produced."

The Red Sox, at 57-76, sit in third place in the Southern Division.
