Augusta GreenJackets News Release
Augusta, GA - Tonight's Augusta GreenJackets game against the Hagerstown Suns has been postponed due to inclement weather, marked by severe thunderstorms and wind. It will be made up on Thursday a part of a doubleheader with the first pitch coming at 6:05 p.m.
At one point, winds intensified so much that a portion of the centerfield wall tumbled down. That, in addition to the saturated playing surface, merited the postponement.
The doubleheader comes on another Thirsty Thursday, brought to by the Vue Lounge and 95 Rock, with dollar domestic drafts and soft drinks available at ballpark concession stands.
The GreenJackets will send lefty Mike Kickham (1-5, 4.95) to the mound in game one while Ryan Bradley (0-1, 5.72) toes the rubber in the nightcap. First pitch will come at 6:05 p.m. with radio pregame coverage beginning at 5:50, airing on WRDW-AM 1630 and online at www.greenjacketsbaseball.com.
Single-game tickets are currently available by calling the GreenJackets front office at 706-922-WINS while further information can be found online at www.greenjacketsbaseball.com.
