Kahlil Watson hit a home run and Travis Bazzana went 1 for 3 with 2 walks, while Aaron Davenport and the bullpen (including Triston McKenzie and Carlos Hernandez) had a rough day.
New right-handed starter Khal Stephen looked very good in three scoreless innings with two strikeouts and allowing two hits. Zack Cozart was 2 for 4 with a double and Wuilfredo Antunez were 2 for 4 with a triple. Ralphy Velazquez sustained his 1.266 OPS with a single
and two walks.
Catcher Bennett Thompson went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk and centerfielder Nick Mitchell went 2 for 3 with a homer and a walk, but Captains pitchers led by Rafe Schlesinger had a tough game… EXCEPT for Tyler Naquin who went two scoreless, hitless innings striking out three!
The Hillcats have some HITTERS on their team as Junekir Caceres went 1 for 3 with three walks, Riley Nelson went 1 for 4 with a double, and Luke Hill went 3 for 4 with a triple and a walk. Hill also stole two bases. Each of the six Lynchburg pitchers who played in this game gave up at least one run.
