GreenJackets Lose Fourth Straight to Riverdogs

Charleston Goes Wire-to-Wire on Augusta

CHARLESTON, SC: The Augusta GreenJackets (20-17) were defeated by the Charleston Riverdogs (25-12) for the fourth straight night at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Ballpark as the Riverdogs grabbed a first-inning lead and didn't look back in an 8-2 victory.

It was two-out damage created with one swing in the first inning as Abiezel Ramirez belted a three-run homer to give Charleston the lead against Augusta starter Luis Vargas in the first inning.

In the second, they would double the lead by scoring three more runs on RBI singles by Shane Sasaki, Carson Williams, and Oneill Manzueta to elevate the lead to 6-0.

The GreenJackets would come back with their first run of the evening in the fourth inning on an RBI double by Geraldo Quintero to score Connor Blair and cut the deficit to 6-1.

That run would be snatched back by the home team in the bottom half of the frame on a throwing error that scored Mason Auer, putting the Riverdogs back up six at 7-1.

In the sixth, Charleston would tack on another run on an infield hit by Oneill Manzueta to give the Riverdogs their largest lead at 8-1.

Augusta would try an fight back in the eighth inning with an RBI single by Connor Blair, but the deficit was too much to overcome as the Riverdogs took Friday night's contest 8-2.

Christian Fernandez was awarded the victory in relief for Charleston with Luis Vargas suffering the loss for the GreenJackes.

Geraldo Quintero was one of the highlights offensively for Augusta as the infielder tallied his second three-hit game of the season and his tenth multi-game of the year with a 3/5 performance. Connor Blair reached base three times including a multi-hit game of his own as he collected an RBI in the eighth inning.

The GreenJackets will look to end their losing skid in game five with AJ Smith-Shawver taking the mound for Augusta. The action gets started from Charleston at 6:05 pm on Saturday night.
