Augusta Breaks Through for First Win in Championship; Now Trails 3-1
John David Carlton was not about to watch an opponent celebrate a championship on his home field.

The left-hander pitched the Augusta GreenJackets to victory at Lake Olmstead Stadium today, staving off the Hickory Crawdads, who remain one game away from a title. Carlton threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball. The win cuts the series deficit for the GreenJackets to 3-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Tex Richter was the walk-off hero for Augusta. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the GreenJackets designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"That's baseball," said Hickory manager Gary Cathcart. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Lake Olmstead Stadium in Augusta-Richmond.
