Close call goes other way, Lynchburg Hillcats fall
A close call came back to haunt the Lynchburg Hillcats in a 6-5 loss to the Frederick Keys tonight. Matt Lipka tied the game 5-5 in the fifth for the Hillcats with a two-run, bases loaded single that went about 330 feet before bouncing back into the field of play. The umpires said it hit off the top of the wall, while the Hillcats contested it bounced off the second wall and back (making it a home run). The play stood as called, and the Hillcats went on to lose by one, while Lipka and Cory Brownsten went stranded on the bases.
