Donaldson, Hillcats Too Much for Blue Rocks
Chad Donaldson knocked in 3 runs to help Lynchburg beat Wilmington, 7-2. Donaldson produced 1 single, 1 double, and 1 home run. The winning pitcher was 22-year old left-handed pitcher Edgar Aguayo. He tossed 102 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. The win elevated the Hillcats to 77-59.

The Blue Rocks had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Hillcats going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old center fielder Darwin Castro came to the plate. Castro hit a run-scoring triple on a 2-1 changeup from Wilmington hurler Andy Kelly. It was Castro's 3rd triple of the year.

Said losing manager Bobby Clontz: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
