Anderson, S.C. - Ryan Patrick had three hits, a homer and two runs batted in, but it would not be enough as Anderson knocked off Augusta 4-3 Tuesday in Anderson. The Jaguars are now 3-4 on the year while the Trojans improve to 8-0.

Anderson scored two runs in the first and another in the second inning to grab an early 3-0 lead.

The Jaguars would score their first run in the third. Ryker Benz, Patrick and Ty McClintock would start the inning with three straight singles. Nolan Turner would deliver a sacrifice fly plating the first run of the game. 

It would stay that way until the seventh when Patrick would connect on his first homer of the year. 

Down 4-2 in the ninth, the Jaguars made it interesting. Duncan Staniszewski came through with a pinch hit triple and would score on a Patrick single to make it a 4-3 ballgame. The Jags would not be able to push across the tying run.

Jameson Whittier pitched six innings in relief and gave up just one run on four hits with four strikeouts. Ty Cobb started and was handed the loss.

Augusta will be right back in action Wednesday afternoon at 5 p.m. when they host Southern Wesleyan at Jaguar Field.
