Alex Lodise produced two home runs for Augusta, tying the team lead and placing the top three home-run hitters in the lineup as the team’s top producers. Cam Caminiti made another start but struggled, allowing significant damage to Hub City in a loss with limited offensive support. Gwinnett defeated Charlotte 7-4 as Adam Zebrowski hit a 412-foot opposite-field home run in the second inning and later drew a bases-loaded walk to extend the lead. Jim Jarvis contributed three RBI with two hits and two walks, including a two-run double in the eighth inning and a run scored on a subsequent single. Zebrowski’s early impact and Jarvis’s late insurance helped Gwinnett never trail.
"It was a huge day at the plate for Alex Lodise, who seems to be coming around for Augusta following a two home run performance for them. With that effort Lodise tied for the team lead in home runs, and the top three in the lineup sit 1-2-3 on the team in home runs."
"Adam Zebrowski hasn't had many chances to make a mark in Gwinnett in his career, but in his first call to Triple-A this season he made the biggest contribution to the game for the Stripers. Zebrowski launched a 412 foot opposite field home run in the second inning, giving the Stripers a 2-0 lead early in the game. He would add on later in the game with a bases loaded walk to again put the Stripers in the lead, and Gwinnett would never trail again."
"Jim Jarvis, a much less surprising major contributor to this game, drew a walk behind Zebrowski to force home a run as part of his three RBI day that included two hits and two walks. Jarvis sealed the game in the eighth inning with a long drive to right field, bouncing off of the wall for a two-run double that exploded the Stripers lead from 4-3 to 6-3. He scored on a Luke Williams single on the next play to cap the scoring effort for both sides."
"Elsewhere Cam Caminiti made another start and had some struggles, giving up a lot of damage to Hub City in a loss in which the offense largely didn't give him much help to work with."
