Columbia Breaks Through for First Win in Divisional Series; Now Trails 2-1
Blake Faber pitched well, but the Augusta GreenJackets lost anyway, falling, 4-2, in extra innings to the Columbia Fireflies at Spirit Communications Park. With the win, Columbia closed their deficit in the best-of-7 Divisional Series to 2-1. Faber gave the GreenJackets 6 innings and allowed no runs.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the 16th when Mario García hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old left-handed pitcher Gerardo Salazar to win the game for Columbia. The home crowd went wild.

"I think that game took a few years off my life," Columbia manager Gunner Litherland said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Spirit Communications Park in Columbia.
