TODAY’S MATCH-UP

CATS AT GLANCE

***** 8-TIME CAROLINA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS: 1978 • 1983 • 1984 • 1997 • 2002 • 2009 • 2012 • 2017

LAST GAME: Justin Garza did not allow a hit over 5.2 innings, and has still yet to allow an earned run this season, as the Hillcats topped the Potomac Nationals 5-3, to even the series at a game a piece. Emmauel Tapia doubled twice in the ballgame, extending his hitting streak to six in a row, and his RBI streak to four straight. Li-Jen Chu, who also doubled early in the game, walked with the bases loaded in the seventh to add an insurance run late. Kieran Lovegrove was summoned for the final out, as he escaped a bases loaded jam in the ninth to secure the victory.

SUPER STARTERS: The Hillcats starting rotation has strung together a streak of nine consecutive starts in which they have gone five or more innings, and allowed two earned run or fewer. In the team’s eight victories this season, they have allowed a combined seven runs, including tossing three shutouts. Justin Garza (0.00) and Sam Hentges (0.56), both sport top-5 ERAs in the Carolina League. The starting rotation as a whole boasts a 2.23 ERA this season, and the Hillcats have the 2nd-best team ERA (2.86) in the CL.

FIRST ONE WINS: In all eight of the Hillcats wins this season, Lynchburg has scored the first run of the game. The team is 8-4 when plating the first run of the game and a winless 0-4 when their opponent strikes first.

BATS STARTING TO BURN: The bats have heated up for the Hillcats, as the team has raised its average from .188 to .223 (35 points) over its last five games. In the last series sweep over the Keys, Lyncbhurg out-hit Frederick 31-14. Four Hillcats players now have hitting streaks of five or more (Longo-7, Capel-6, Tapia-6, Collins-5). Lynchburg has now out-hit their opponent in eight of the team's 15 games this season. JUST-INCREDIBLE: Lynchburg starter Justin Garza has not allowed a run through two starts this season, and was named the Carolina League Pitcher of the Week For April 5-15. The right-hander has thrown 15.2 scoreless innings and has allowed just four hits while striking out 19. Garza is the only pitcher in the Carolina League who has not allowed an earned run through three starts. He ranks first in the league in WHIP (0.51). League opponents are also batting just .082 against Garza, the second-best BAA in the Carolina League. Garza also has the fewest baserunners/9 IP ratio in the league at 5.74

LONG STREAK LONGO: Hillcats OF Mitch Longo has reached base safely in all 13 games he's appeared in this season. Longo's on-base streak extends to 18 games dating back to his final regular season appearance last year on August 31, and 21 games if you count the three postseason games during Lynchburg's championship run. Longo is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak and has also worked seven walks this season, tied for third-most on the team.

ICE-ing ON THE CAKE: Logan Ice has been fantastic behind the plate this season, allowing just seven earned runs in 60 innings behind the plate (1.05 ERA). The Tacoma, WA native has been the Hillcats catcher for all three of their shutouts this season. Lynchburg is 6-1 this season when Ice is the starting backstop.

2017 IN REVIEW: The Hillcats enjoyed a dominant 2017 campaign en route to a league championship. Lynchburg racked up a league best 87 wins overall, capturing the Northern Division title in both the first and second half of the season. Lynchburg Defeated the Frederick Keys, 2-1, in the Divisional Series and excelled on both sides of the ball during their championship run. The Hillcats pitching staff finished with the league’s best team ERA (3.21) and walked the fewest batters (365). On the offensive side, Lynchburg tallied the third-best team batting average in the Carolina League (.258), finished with the second-most RBIs (577), runs (645), doubles (262) and slugging (.395).

TOP-30 IN LYNCHBURG: Conner Capel (No. 12), Sam Hentges (No. 17), Logan Ice (No. 21), and Mitch Longo (No. 27) are all Hillcats players that are ranked on the Indians Top-30 prospect list..
