Charleston Dirty Birds News Release


CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Bobby Honeyman and Cesar Trejo both launched home runs, but the Power was outslugged by the Augusta GreenJackets, 8-3, Wednesday night at Appalachian Power Park.

Augusta (16-14) struck first with an RBI single from Diego Rincones in the top of the first, but West Virginia responded quickly. In the bottom of the second, Honeyman crushed the first pitch of the inning 390 feet over the right-field wall to tie the game at one.

Power starter Josias De Los Santos (0-2) appeared to be settling down with two scoreless frames and a total of four strikeouts as he entered the fourth inning. However, the GreenJackets tallied five runs, including a three-run homer from Aaron Bond, to take a commanding 6-1 lead.

Augusta would tack on another run in the sixth to make it 7-1 before Trejo unloaded for his third homer of the season in the bottom half of the frame. The long ball went 382 feet over the left-field wall and brought West Virginia (17-13) back within four at 7-3.

Benjamin Onyshko was a bright spot out the bullpen, as he set new career-highs with 4.2 innings of work and six strikeouts. Dayeison Arias also impressed by striking out the first two hitters he faced and twirling a perfect ninth inning.

Jarred Kelenic extended his on-base streak to a Class A-best 24 games with a first-inning single, while adding a triple in the ninth. Kelenic is averaging .402 (37-for-92) during this 24-game stretch.
