Augusta GreenJackets News Release
Augusta, GA - The Augusta GreenJackets (8-11) returned home to begin a 7-game homestand Tuesday night, taking on the Kannapolis Intimidators (7-12).
Kannapolis scored early to take a 2-0 lead over Augusta, but shortstop Lucius Fox gave the GreenJackets crowd something to cheer about, with a 3-run home run in the third inning, his second of the season. The Intimidators, however, tied the score at three in the 4th inning on a groundout. Their big inning came in the 7th inning on a 3-run home run of their own by Corey Zangari.
Trailing by three runs in the 9th inning, Dylan Davis came around to score off a ground out by Seth Harrison, but the rally ended there and the Intimidators won 7-5. Michael Santos falls to 1- 2, 4.35 ERA on the year. Tyler Cyr pitched 0.2 innings in relief and Matthew Pope finished the final 2.1 innings. He pitched well, striking out four.
Augusta's next home game will be Wednesday, April 27th with a special 10:35am start time. It's Education Day 2, the field trip CSRA-area students look forward to all year! The gates will open to fans starting at 9:30am. It's also Silver Jackets day, the official fan club of fans 60 and older. Last but not least, it's also Baseball Bingo.
The probable pitching matchup features Johnathan Frebis (2-1, 4.80 ERA) against Phil Bickford (1-2, 5.27 ERA).
The 28th consecutive season of professional baseball in Augusta is underway.
