Powered by home runs from CF Desmond Jennings and DH Brett Grandstrand, the Catfish blanked the division leaders, 6-0.
The Catfish got on the board in the first inning, when Jennings led the home half with a solo shot over the left field wall.
In the 4th inning, Grandstrand added 4 more runs with a grand slam. LF John Matulia led the inning with a single to left. With 1 out, C Nevin Ashley reached on an error when Augusta P Robert Grace mishandled a bunt. RF Maiko Loyola loaded the bases when he drew a walk. That led to Grandstrand's grand slam.
The Catfish pushed one more run across in the 8th inning. With 2 out, 3B Cesar Suarez and Ashley both singled. After Craig Albernaz replaced Ashley, Loyola singled to right, scoring Suarez.
Starter Lewis Rollins went 6 innings, allowing 2 hits, walking 1, and striking out 7 in picking up his 1st win. Chris Kelly worked 2 innings of relief, striking out 1. Ryan Reid worked the 9th inning, shutting down Augusta in three at-bats, allowing a meaningless single, and getting 1B Brett Pill to ground into a 6-3 double play.
The series concludes Friday night, with the Catfish assured no worse than a split with the Greenjackets.
