Lynchburg Hillcats win third straight

Chris Graham

Fernando De Los Santos, who entered Friday with just two hits on the season, delivered a bases loaded triple in the ninth that proves the difference in a Lynchburg Hillcats 6-3 win over the Salem Red Sox in the series opener at Salem Memorial Ballpark. James Hoyt pitched four scoreless innings out of the bullpen for Lynchburg. Hoyt has now gone 16.1 consecutive innings without allowing a run.
