LAKEWOOD, NJ - The Lakewood BlueClaws evened up their 4 game series with the Augusta GreenJackets at 1 game a piece with a 5-1 victory on Sunday night. Augusta actually out hit Lakewood 8-7, but the BlueClaws made their base runners count. The 8th and 9th hitters in Lakewood's lineup drove in all 5 runs for the BlueClaws in the 5-1 win.

Cameron Rupp hit 8th and Bill Rice hit 9th, and they sparked Lakewood's offense on Sunday. Rupp went 2-3 with 3 RBI's and Rice was 1-3 with 2 RBI's from the bottom of the order. Domingo Santana was also 1-3 with a double and 2 runs scored.
