COLUMBIA, SC – The Fireflies led 4-1 in the top of the fifth inning when Saturday’s game in Fredericksburg was suspended due to rain. The game will be completed as part of a doubleheader tomorrow beginning at 1:35 pm.

Columbia took a commanding lead in the top of the third. David Hollie got things started with a one out walk. Next, Levi Usher drove home Hollie to tie the game with a double. After a Lizandro Rodriguez walk, Brett Squires smashed his second homer of the season to put Columbia up 4-1.

Fredericksburg broke the seal in the second. Cortland Lawson ripped an RBI triple over David Hollie’s head in right field to plate Wilmer Perez and put the home team in front 1-0.

David Sandlin worked all four innings for Columbia, punching out six while allowing just a single, earned run.
