NORTH AUGUSTA, SOUTH CAROLINA: The Augusta GreenJackets (46-40, 10-8) defeated the Kannapolis Intimidators (39-47, 11-7) by a final score of 7-1 on Sunday evening. The game featured a two-hour and 10-minute rain delay, but it didn't phase the GreenJackets, as they helped their starting pitcher Seth Corry collect his 3^rd consecutive victory on the mound.

In the 2^nd inning, the GreenJackets gave Corry some run support. After Zander Clarke led the inning off with a single, Mikey Edie walked, and the Jackets had two men on-base. Orlando Garcia walked up, and belted his 1^st home run as a GreenJacket in 2019. The three-run shot gave Augusta the early 3-0 advantage.
In the 5^th inning, the Jackets offense continued to find ways to score. Jose Layer singled to extend the lead to 4-0. Anyesber Sivira later scored on a wild pitch to make the score 5-0. Then it was a two-run home run for Jacob Gonzalez, and the Jackets had themselves a 7-0 lead after five innings.
Rain started to come down, and we entered a rain delay that lasted two-hours and 10 minutes. Corry's night came to-a-close because of the delay. He hurled five innings of shutout baseball on the mound, allowing just two hits, and he finished the night with seven strikeouts.
Johan Cruz had a solo home run for Kannapolis in the 9^th, but that was all scoring Kannapolis could muster up on Sunday night.
Player of the Game: Seth Corry, W, 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 7 K
The rain-shortened start for Seth Corry was impressive. He has not allowed a run in his last two starts and 11-innings on the mound, while surrendering a total of four hits between the two outings.
