Charleston Dirty Birds News Release


Augusta, GA (June 26, 2007) - The Augusta GreenJackets scored five times in the first inning of Tuesday night's game at Lake Olmstead Stadium and they shutout the West Virginia Power for the second night in row, taking game two of the series 7-0.

Bobby Felmy and Tyler Graham both hit RBI singles in the first inning before Juan Jean cleared the bases with a three run single to cap off the five run frame, and knocked Power starter Jeremy Jeffress out of the contest.

The GreenJackets scored two more times in the contest on RBI singles from Brett Pill in the fourth and the sixth. West Virginia has not scored a run since the third inning of Sunday's game against the Kannapolis Intimidators, putting them on a 24 inning scoreless slump.

Augusta Starter Ben Snyder retired the first ten batters he faced before walking Brent Brewer on four pitches in the fourth inning, and he had a no hitter going through four and a third until Andy Bouchie ripped a one out single in the fifth.

Ben Snyder (9-2) pitched six scoreless innings, allowed two hits and struck out four to get the victory while Jeremy Jeffress (4-1) was tagged with the loss after he allowed five runs on four hits over two thirds of the first inning. The trio of Dustin Lidyard, Shawn Ferguson and J.T. King held the GreenJackets to just two runs on six hits over seven and a third innings of relief.

The Power fell to 50-24 overall and 2-4 in the second half, and the GreenJackets improved to 55-21 overall and 5-1 in the second half with the win. Jimmy Mojica ripped a pair of singles and was the only Power player with a multi-hit game.

The Power will continue the four game series against the Augusta GreenJackets at Lake Olmstead Stadium on Wednesday night. The Power will start left hander Brae Wright (5-4, 6.43) and Augusta will start right hander Adam Cowart (9-3, 2.18). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
