The Fredericksburg Nationals got a few “firsts” out of the way in their debut game, but couldn’t secure their first win as they fell 16-3 to the Lynchburg Hillcats on Tuesday night.
The Hillcats slugged four home runs and took advantage of five Fredericksburg errors to claim the Opening Day victory. A pair of six-run frames, in the second and the eighth, gave Lynchburg starter Xzavion Curry and two relievers all the support they would need.
