Augusta GreenJackets News Release
Myrtle Beach, SC - The Augusta GreenJackets (Atlanta Braves) squandered a hot start against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Chicago Cubs), as Augusta (5-7) fell to the Pelicans (7-6) 8-4.
The GreenJackets scored first for the ninth time in 12 games, as Jair Casanova worked an RBI walk in the top of the second inning. David McCabe added on with a solo home run in the next frame, putting Augusta up 2-0 after three. However, the Pelicans strung together six hits in the bottom of the fourth off of JR Ritchie (L, 0-1) to take a 6-2 lead. Myrtle Beach would tag on one more run in the fifth and sixth to extend the lead to 8-2.
In the top of the seventh inning, Tyler Collins doubled home a pair of runs with two outs to trim the Pelicans lead to 8-4, but that would be it for the scoring, as the GreenJackets could not muster up a comeback. Erian Rodriguez (W, 1-0) picked up the win for the Pelicans after dealing three shutout frames.
