Lynchburg Hillcats News Release
Lynchburg, Va. - Today's double-header between the Lynchburg Hillcats and the Frederick Keys has been canceled due to a power outage at City Stadium. Since the two clubs do not match up again in the 2019 season, the games will not be made up.
Frederick won the shortened one-game series with a 3-1 win on Saturday night.
Sunday's game was postponed due to heavy rainfall that subsequently caused a power loss throughout the city of Lynchburg.
The Hillcats will hit the road on Tuesday for the start of a three-game series against the Fayetteville Woodpeckers, A-Adv. affiliate of the Houston Astros. Right-hander Jojanse Torres (4-0, 3.14) will start for Fayetteville, while the Hillcats have not yet announced a starting pitcher. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Segra Stadium.
Max Gun and Anders Jorstad will be on the air at 6:50 p.m. with the Hillcats pre-game show on TuneIn Radio and the Radio434 App.
Lynchburg returns home on Friday, July 26 for the start of a three-game series against the Winston-Salem Dash, A-Adv. affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. Homestand highlights include post-game fireworks on Friday and Saturday night, with post-game kids run the bases on Sunday. Friday's fireworks show is presented by 3rd Street Brewing, while Saturday's is brought to you by Central Virginia Federal Credit Union.
