GreenJackets Win Second-Half Division Crown
Published on September 5, 2011 under South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Augusta GreenJackets News Release
Augusta, GA - For the first time since the 2008 season, the Augusta GreenJackets are headed to the postseason. With their win on Monday, and Lexington's doubleheader sweep of Savannah, the GreenJackets claimed the second-half division crown.
Augusta, Greenville and Savannah ended the second-half in a three-way tie for first place. With two fewer games played than the Drive and Sand Gnats, the GreenJackets make the postseason because they have a greater winning percentage than either of the other two clubs.
The GreenJackets will host Savannah on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. at Lake Olmstead Stadium in Game 1 of the South Atlantic League Divisional Playoffs. Tickets for the 2011 South Atlantic League Divisional and Championship Series will be priced as follows - Box Seats are just $13, Reserved Seats are $10 and General Admission Seats are $8.
Fans can also purchase tickets for all four postseason games in a "Playoff Mini-Plan." Those seats are priced as follows - Box Seat packages are just $52, Reserved Seat packages are $40 and General Admission Seat packages are $32. Any unused value from mini-plan tickets can be rolled over into 2012 season ticket or mini-plan packages.
If the GreenJackets win the first round series against Savannah, they would then host games 3, 4, and 5 of the South Atlantic League Championship Series (Best-of-5 series) on Thursday, September 15 at 7:05 PM; Friday, September 16 at 7:05 PM; and Saturday, September 17 at 7:05 PM (Games 4 and 5 if necessary). Their opponent in the finals would be the Northern Division Champion.
Gates will open at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and if you can't make it to the park, radio pregame coverage begins at 6:50 p.m. on WRDW-AM 1630 and online at www.greenjacketsbaseball.com .
