North Augusta, SC - Landon Stephens hit an inside-the-park home run and the Jackets came up with another big offensive performance. Jared Johnson provided four innings, allowing one run, and Augusta won their sixth consecutive game by a final of 11-1.

Columbia has now lost 10 consecutive games. Stephens led the way going 3-for-4 with five RBIs and two home runs.

After Columbia scored first on a wild pitch in the first inning, Bryson Horne tied the game with an RBI single in the home half.

The Jackets led 3-1 after one.

In the third inning, it was Willie Carter's double to make it a 4-1 GreenJackets advantage. Tyler Tolve added to the lead in the 5th inning. His single made it a 5-1 game as it scored Carter.

Kenny Wells came out of the Augusta bullpen throwing darts. He went three scoreless innings. The offense didn't slow down. In the seventh inning, back-to-back triples from Tolve and Christian Robinson made it 7-1 Jackets.

In the 8th inning, the offense poured it on. Four more runs, highlighted by Stephens 20th home run of the year gave the Jackets an 11-1 lead.

Estarlin Rodriguez and James Acuna finished the night by each throwing a scoreless inning. The GreenJackets had 16 hits including three each from Carter, Robinson and Stephens.

NOTES:

Kenny Wells has not allowed a run in his last seven innings.
