Kevin Coddington singled for one of the four Hillcats hits of the game, but Winston-Salem scored six runs in the second and took the series opener 6-0.

The Cats fall to 30-32 in the second half, four-and-a-half games behind Potomac for first place in the second half of the Carolina League North. That number is pending the result of Potomac's second game of a doubleheader this evening.

The Dash jumped on Hillcats starter Pedro Villarreal for six runs in the second inning. Seth Loman led off the frame with a home run, his 24th of the season. That's good for second in the Carolina League.

After Villarreal retired the next batter, he allowed two straight hits to Logan Johnson and Luis Sierra. Drew Garcia then grounded out before Greg Paiml walked to load the bases. Kenny Williams Jr. hit a two-run single, followed by a Jose Martinez three-run homer. That put the Dash up 6-0 and that's all they needed.

Lynchburg put two runners on base in an inning only once during the game, and couldn't score.

The Cats couldn't put up much against Dash starter Nate Jones. In seven innings, Jones didn't allow a run and let up only three hits while striking out three. He gets the win to move to 11-5. Meanwhile, Pedro Villarreal struggled in his three-inning start. He gave up six runs, all earned and gets the loss.

Lynchburg and Winston-Salem continue their four-game series from BB&T Ballpark tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Curtis Partch (6-10, 4.71) starts for the Hillcats opposite Dylan Axelrod (7-2, 2.05) for Winston. The Hillcats On-Deck Show presented by Honda/Suzuki of Lynchburg hits the airwaves at 6:40 p.m. on 105.5 FM KD Country in Lynchburg or Lynchburg-Hillcats.com.
