AUGUSTA, GA. - With Chris Stratton on the mound for Augusta and an early 1-0 lead after the first inning, the GreenJackets were in good shape to split the series with the RiverDogs. Unfortunately, Charleston (33-21) scored six runs off of Stratton, en route to its 8-2 win against Augusta (30-26).

Stratton got off to a great start Sunday afternoon. He used two strikeouts and a pick off to escape the first inning.

Then in the bottom of the first, the offense took some pressure off Stratton by adding a run. With Jesus Galindo on second, Mitch Delfino singled on a fly ball to right field to score Galindo.

Stratton finished Sunday with 11 hits, six runs and six strikeouts. He now holds a 3.77 ERA and a 6-3 record.

In the sixth, reliever Steven Okert took over on the mound for Augusta. In his three innings of work, Okert gave up three hits and two runs while striking out two batters.
