COLUMBIA, SC: The rubber match between the Augusta GreenJackets (8-14) and Columbia Fireflies (13-9) at Segra Park was canceled due to weather and will not be made up as the two teams do not meet again during the 2022 season. 

After a scoreless first three innings to start the ballgame, the matchup was sent into a weather delay in the bottom of the fourth due to rain and lightning in the area. After about a 90-minute delay, it was determined the game would not be able to continue and as a result, the game was canceled. 

The GreenJackets will now return home to SRP Park to face the Myrtle Beach Pelicans starting on Tuesday night at 7:05 pm.
