The Nationals – who lost the first game 3-2 and the second by a 5-2 tally – have now dropped eight straight games and sit alone in the basement of the Carolina League’s Northern Division.
It only took the Hillcats (21-27) two pitches to take a lead in Game One. Todd Cunningham rocketed Cameron Selik’s first pitch into right field for a triple; Andrelton Simmons belted Selik’s second offering into left field for a sacrifice fly that staked Lynchburg to a 1-0 lead.
