USCA first-year players excited to play Augusta at SRP Park
AIKEN, SC (WJBF)- The 21-9 USCA Pacers are preparing to play their rival Augusta at SRP Park… in the battle for the paddle. There are many newcomers on the Pacers squad who have yet to play the Augusta Jaguars, let alone compete on a professional field at SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets. First year head coach Keith Gorman is excited about the opportunity for his players, and they’re just as eager to play against their rival, as this is a game that means just a bit more.
“Augusta is basically our rival, conference opponent, even though it doesn’t count towards conference, but a lot of fans show out, it’s in their hometown, and we want to go out and beat them,” said second baseman Salvatore Laimo. “It’s an exciting game, so I think it’ll put us in the right step forward, and a lot of guys are telling me about the history behind it. We’re looking for our 100th win against them, so that’d be pretty cool to do it at SRP Park.
” First pitch set for 6:35 p. m. on Wednesday night.
