Zachary Cawyer (L, 4-1) issued a lead-off walk to Jake Steels in the ninth. Steels advanced on a groundout to set the stage for Willmer De La Cruz. The outfielder smoked a liner to the left field corner to score Steels and provide GreenJackets fans with a walk-off win in their season finale at SRP Park.
Augusta tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning after Titus Dumitru grounded out to score John Gill from third to set up the exciting final inning of play.
Pitching was the name of the game again Sunday and Jonatan Bernal set the tone with five, two-hit innings for Columbia. He only had a pair of strikeouts, but he kept Augusta off the board for a second-outing this week before Columbia moved to the bullpen.
After that, Julio Rosario held firm with two scoreless innings to give the ball to Cawyer with a 1-0 lead.
Callan Moss provided the pop for the Fireflies. He clobbered a solo shot in the seventh to give the Fireflies the lead and their lone run of the game.
