8/30 – Mudcats vs. Hillcats
DOWNLOAD: August 30 – Carolina Mudcats Game Information
The Mudcats play their final home game of the 2015 season today at Five County Stadium against the Lynchburg Hillcats. The Hillcats have won three straight in the series and today the Mudcats will look to avoid a series sweep with LHP Matt Bywater on the mound for the finale start. Bywater enters at 2-1 over three games and with a 1.53 ERA with the Mudcats this season. He was signed by the Braves as a free agent earlier this month out of independent ball and made his Mudcats debut 8/14 in Frederick. Bywater last pitched on 8/25 at home versus Wilmington and picked up his second straight win after keeping the Blue Rocks to three runs and nine hits over 5.2 innings pitched.
The Mudcats enter today’s game 8.0 games back of the first place Winston-Salem Dash in the 2nd half standings and were eliminated from post-season contention last night. Both teams have eight games remaining this season, but the Dash will play two fewer 2nd half games having had two cancellations since the break.
