Rome, GA - The Rome Braves were defeated by the Augusta GreenJackets 5-1Thursday night in the final home game of the 2012 regular season at State Mutual Stadium. The Braves pitching staff struggled by issuing a total of eleven free passes; nine walks and two hit batters.

Augusta's first run came in the second inning after A.J. Holland issued two walks and hit two batters for the early 1-0 lead. Rome tied the game in the third on a Tony Mueller RBI single. Mueller was the lone bright spot for Rome going 3-5 with an RBI. The Braves' offense only had three runners reach third and left nine runners stranded.
