GreenJackets Suffer One-Run Loss at Columbia
Fans watched the Columbia Fireflies and the Augusta GreenJackets fight to the finish.

Connor Piccirillo had a good game, but he could not keep the Augusta GreenJackets from falling, 6-5, to the Columbia Fireflies at Spirit Communications Park. The Augusta first baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once in the loss. Columbia reliever Bucky Stackpole was the winner. His record is now 3-1. Dave Diefenderfer took the loss. Lee Dalbey nailed down his 1st save.

Had Wade Salyers not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Salyers hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Fireflies.

"We take it day by day here," said Salyers, "and today was a good one for us."

At 75-60, the Fireflies find themselves in 5th place in the South Atlantic League Carolina Division.
