Game Two of the double-head- 4.21 ERA 3.87 er was canceled due to rain. .966 Fielding Pct. .971 234 Runs 311 RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY!: If there was one consistency recently, it has been the rain. The Hillcats suffered four rain delays, three postponements, and a cancellation with the 23 HR 50 Buies Creek Astros in the month of May alone. So far, Mother Nature showed no let-up to begin the month of June, forcing another postponement and two cancellations in 206 RBI 292 the Hillcats series against the Frederick Keys and Potomac Nationals. 199 BB 230 483 K 418 WALK THIS WAY: Trenton Brooks has had a knack for working free passes over his last two games. The outfielder has walked five times this series against Potomac, including 30 SB 40 a career-high three in Friday's series-opener. Before this series, Brooks had worked seven walks in his previous 33 games. However, as a team, the Hillcats have walked just 1st HALF STANDINGS 199 times this season, which is the lowest mark in the Carolina League.

Salem 28-30 .483 2.5 Lynchburg 27-30 .474 3.0 DILLON DOING WORK: Hillcats infielderDillon Persinger has been on a roll offensively. The 22-year-old has hit safely in 15 of his last 17 games (reached base in 15), and Wilmington 28-34 .452 4.5 is batting .370 (23-for-62) during that span, and has raised his batting average 65 points.

The Fountain Valley, Calif. native has played both shortstop and second base for Lynch- burg this season, and has seen consistent playing time after beginning the season in Single-A Lake County. Southern Division Winston-Salem 35-27 .565 -- SCORING FIRST IS KEY: One major point of emphasis this season for Lynchburg has been to score the first run of the ballgame. When the Hillcats plate the first run, they are Buies Creek 34-27 .557 0.5 21-12. When the opponent scores first, Lynchburg is just 6-18 this season. Down East 32-29 .525 2.5 Myrtle Beach 31-30 .508 3.5 ROLLER COASTER RIDE: The Hillcats have enjoyed high peaks and suffered through low valleys throughout the season.
