Charleston, SC: The Augusta GreenJackets, South Atlantic League affiliate of San Francisco Giants, lost 7-4 against the Charleston RiverDogs on Thursday night.
The game started as a pitchers' duel between Joey Marciano for Augusta and Jio Orozco for Charleston. The game was scoreless for the first four innings, with both pitchers only giving up a handful of hits.
Then in the fifth inning, the GreenJackets would strike first against Orozco. With men on first and second base, Nick Hill would double off the right field wall to clear the bases. This big 2-out hit, put the GreenJackets out in front 2-0.
