Hickory, NC: The Augusta GreenJackets, South Atlantic League affiliate of San Francisco Giants, lost 4-3 in 11 innings to the Hickory Crawdads on Monday night.

Making a rehab appearance for the Crawdads was Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez. He looked in peak form, going five innings only allowing two hits. With the strong performance from Perez, the Crawdads had a 2-0 lead until the eighth inning.

With two outs in the inning, the GreenJackets made a big comeback. Tyler Brown and Heliot Ramos both got on with singles. Then Manuel Geraldo hit a bases clearing double to tie the game at two. With Geraldo on at second, Jacob Gonzalez single into left field gave the GreenJackets a 3-2 lead.

Sam Huff solo home run in the bottom of the eighth would tie the game at three. That would remain the score until the bottom of the inning when Bubba Thompson walked it off for the Crawdads.
