Savannah Sand Gnats
The Savannah Sand Gnats split a doubleheader with the Augusta GreenJackets Friday night at Historic Grayson Stadium, taking game one 2-1 before dropping the nightcap 4-2. The First-Half Champion Gnats are now 1-1 in the second half and 40-31 overall.
Savannah pitching held the GreenJackets (32-40/1-1) to one hit in the game one win. LHP Angel Cuan, making his first start of the year after 18 relief appearances, tossed three perfect innings with one strikeout to set the tone. Hamilton Bennett worked two scoreless, hitless innings, for his fifth Gnats’ save.
In game two, the Gnats took a short-lived 2-1 lead on Rodriguez’s two-run single into right field in the fourth inning. However, the GreenJackets answered back in the top of the fifth against starter Yohan Almonte. After a double and a walk, GreenJackets DH Josh Mazzola clubbed a three run home run to leftfield that gave the GreenJackets a 4-2 lead, which three Augusta relievers made hold up. Almonte gave up four runs, all earned, in five innings and was charged with his fourth loss of the year.
