September 5, 2017

Augusta, GA-The GreenJackets closed Lake Olmstead Stadium in style with an 8-2 victory over the Charleston RiverDogs in the stadium's final game Monday night in front of 4,827 fans. The victory gave the GreenJackets their sixth win in their final seven games to close out the 2017 season.

With one out, Tyler Brown was hit by pitch to load the bases. Ashford Fulmer then grounded into an RBI fielder's choice to make it 2-0 GreenJackets in the second.
With one out in the fifth, Skyler Ewing hit a two-run home run to make it 4-0. It turned out to be the last ever home run hit at Lake Olmstead Stadium. Vizcaino then added another base hit with a double. With two outs, he came in to score on another single by Bernal to extend the lead to 5-0. With one out in the sixth and the GreenJackets leading 5-1, Ashford Fulmer hit a double. Sandro Fabian hit a two-out double to score him. Ewing followed with his second extra base hit of the game, a double to score Fabian making it 7-1. With the GreenJackets leading 7-2 in the bottom of the eight, Vizcaino added his third hit with his second double to score Fabian and make it 8-2.
