Augusta, Georgia just ain't no place to be

According to the old song by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, "Augusta, Georgia just ain't no place to be." *

And, apparently, neither is anywhere else the Augusta Greenjackets (Giants) are playing.

The South Atlantic League (Class A) team improved their record to 10-0 Saturday night, with a 2-0 win over the visiting Charleston River Dogs (Yankees).

Starter Kevin Pucetas worked five shutout innings for the win and waited out a 28 minute rain delay while catcher Dayton Buller drove in both runs.

Pucetas (1-0) allowed five hits, did not walk a batter and struck out four in his first start of the season for Augusta.

The Greenjackets were held to just 3 hits in the game, but 2 came in the 5th inning and, along with a walk, produced the games only runs.

The only other undefeated team in the minors is the Midwest League (Class A) Dayton Dragons, who are still 5-0 after having their 4th postponement of the season Saturday night.
