Augusta, GA: A four-run fourth inning was enough for the Augusta GreenJackets as they beat the Suns 6-3 on Saturday night to win the series three games to one. The Suns (18-23) had an early 2-0 lead on an a Drew Butera RBI single and Will Vogl RBI groundout in the second. However, Jonathon Niese (11-7) couldn't get past the third inning. Niese was cruising right along with 2 1/3 perfect innings to start the game but allowed seven straight batters to reach safely in the third to let Augusta (33-9) take a 4-2 lead.

Sunday at 5:05pm the Suns will open up a four game series in Greenville versus the Drive, and will have Deolis Guerra going against LHP Ryan Phillips.
