Augusta Green Jackets @ Columbia Fireflies
April 6-9, 2017
Below
is a breakdown of the Columbia Fireflies opening series from 2017, which was a
sweep of the Augusta Green Jackets. The goal with these ‘Series in Review’
posts wasn’t to cover the series as fully as I normally would but to highlight
a few players who didn’t get as much coverage throughout the rest of the
season.

Series in Review
The
Fireflies started 2017 with a bang in front of 8,412 fans, as they exploded for
a 14-7 win over Augusta. Tim Tebow went deep in his first AB and everything
seemed to go right except Harol Gonzalez’s 4th inning, which is when
Augusta scored five of their runs. In total, five players finished with
multi-hit games, and both Dash Winningham and Michael Paez joined Tebow with
homeruns in the win. Max Kuhns stumbled a little in the 7th, but
overall the pen finished with 9 strikeouts in 6 innings, which was a sign of
the success to come.

Game
one was lopsided, but at least Augusta showed up. Game two was a dominating 7-0
win for Columbia and the star was Jordan Humphreys, who struck out nine in his
first of many great starts for the Fireflies. The Cola pitching staff combined
for 13 strikeouts total and allowed just 3 singles. Meanwhile, the Fireflies
offense kept glowing in the outburst. They scored 7 runs without the aid of a
homerun thanks to 11 hits and 8 walks drawn. Jacob Zanon led the way with 3
hits – including a triple – a walk, and two stolen bases.

The
Green Jackets showed a little more life in game three, but the Fireflies put
the game away early, jumping out to an 8-2 lead after the 3rd. Gabriel
Llanes’ struggles with command forced him out before the 5th, so
Taylor Henry and Adonis Uceta combined on the final 4.2 IP. The Fireflies
scored 9 runs on 9 hits and 9 walks drawn in game 3, with an Anthony Dimino
double representing the only Cola extra base hit of the game. Everyone reached
base at least once – 7 different players had a hit and 7 different players worked
a walk – and 8 of 9 batters either scored or drove in a run.

The
Fireflies wrapped up the sweep with another 3-hit shutout behind Merandy
Gonzalez – interesting that Merandy G and Jordan Humphreys started the years
with such similar outings. Anthony Dimino led the way on offense with 3 hits,
and the Cola lineup worked 6 more walks against Augusta pitching. Tim Tebow
provided some nice insurance when he connected on his second homer of the year
to double the lead in the 5th.
