After Augusta starter Ethan Bagwell also worked four shutout innings, the RiverDogs broke through in the fifth. Ryan McCoy and Larry Martinez opened the frame with back-to-back singles. Yirer Garcia rolled into a double play, moving McCoy to third base for Jose Monzon, who socked an RBI double for the game’s first run.
Monzon himself came into score via back-to-back wild pitches to grow the lead to 2-0.
The RiverDogs tacked on in the top of the seventh, as Narciso Polanco drove in Garcia on an RBI single to push the advantage to 3-0.
