Recapish


            Per the Cola broadcasters, the Columbia Fireflies started the night with an eleven game winning against the Green Jackets at Spirit Communications Parks, but Augusta’s bats made sure that streak would not reach twelve. The Green Jackets connected for five extra base hits, including three homeruns, and unloaded on Gabriel Llanes and Cameron Griffin for ten runs. Brandon Brosher hit a monster two run homer as part of a multi-hit effort for Columbia, but the Cola bats were not up to the task of double-digit runs Thursday night.
            Gabriel Llanes needed just five pitches for the 1st and then the Fireflies went out and got him a 1-0 lead. It all went downhill after that. Jacob Zanon extended the 1st with a two out single, stolen second base (his 19th stolen base) and then came around to score on a Dan Rizzie single.

            But, three batters into the 2nd, the Green Jackets were suddenly up 3-1 on the strength of two homeruns – Skyler Ewing led off the frame with his ninth homer and then Sandro Fabian connected on a two run shot, his seventh of the year. Llanes ended the frame with his first strikeout of the game.

K #1

            Colby Woodmansee’s hit came with two outs in the 2nd.


            Llanes hit the first batter of the 3rd and Augusta was able to get him around to make it a 4-1 game. Llanes struck out Ewing looking for some revenge in the frame.

K #2

Gimenez at SS

            Luis Carpio led off the bottom of the 3rd with a single and stole second (his 16th stolen base), but the Fireflies couldn’t get him home.

            The Fireflies started the 4th with three straight singles for a run to make it 4-2. It looked like they might get more, but then Colby Woodmansee’s poor luck hit an all-time high (or rock bottom?), as he hit a rope at the third baseman, which started a threat-killing triple play.

Brosher

Berrios

Woodmansee

            Augusta scratched out a run in the 5th and then Christian Paulino doubled home a run with two outs to give the Green Jackets a 6-2 lead mid-6th. Llanes struck out a pair in the 6th, but another HBP came around to burn him.

K #4

            Jay Jabs kept the bottom of the 6th going with a walk to bring Brandon Brosher to the plate, and that’s when the fans got a show. Brosher connected on a homer announced at 408’, and he hit it to a part of the park that few homers go to.


            Although he had been hit around some, Llanes had kept his pitch count low through six, so he was left out for the 7th. Unfortunately, Llanes could only get one out and left after allowing his third homer of the game.
Cameron Griffin took over for Llanes and allowed a homer to the first batter he saw, which gave the Green Jackets a 9-4 lead. Griffin struck out a pair during his 1.2 innings of work, but Augusta added one more run to make it 10-4 before his night was done. Adam Atkins worked a scoreless 9th for Columbia, which lowered his ERA to 0.78.

Woodmansee at third

            After the Brosher homer, the only Cola hit was a 9th inning double from Jay Jabs. Jabs made it to third, and the Fireflies loaded the bases in the frame, but they couldn’t scratch out any more runs.


            Looking ahead, the Fireflies send Justin Brantley to the hill for his second start of the season Friday as they try to even this series up.
