Hillcats survive Woodpeckers late rally for 7-6 win

LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Lynchburg Hillcats earned a 7-6 home victory Wednesday night over the visiting Fayetteville Woodpeckers.

The game was scoreless until the 4th inning. That’s when Fayetteville scored a run thanks to an RBI double from Luis Baez. But the Hillcats returned the favor in the bottom half of the inning in a big way. Six runs came across to score on 4 singles and a bases loaded walk.

Lynchburg added to its lead in the 5th inning when Jose Devers hit a solo home run to center field for the 7-1 advantage.

Despite allowing four runs in the 7th inning, the Hillcats held on for the home win.
