The GreenJackets scored the game's first run in the fourth inning. Skyler Stromsmoe and Shriner drew back-to-back walks. Juan Martinez then dropped a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. Then, Nick Liles hit a groundout to short to bring home Stromsmoe.

In the fifth, Chris Dominguez clobbered his 20th home run of the season to give the GreenJackets a 2-0 lead.

The Shorebirds tied the game in the sixth inning. Levi Carolus blasted a bending line drive that flew past the center field for a triple to score Ty Kelly and Tyler Stampone.

In the ninth inning, Shriner connected on a T.R. Keating pitch and drove it over the left field wall to give the GreenJackets a 3-2 lead.

Augusta reliever Chris Gloor earned the win in two innings of relief. He allowed one hit and no runs. Keating was pinned with the loss.

Chris Wilson earned his fourth save of the season. He tossed a scoreless ninth inning.
