Augusta, USC-Aiken baseball go head-to-head

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – If you need a warm-up for opening day, here is your chance.

Since we all can’t get out on a plane and head to San Diego, we have the next best thing in our backyard.

USC-Aiken and Augusta are going head-to-head at SRP Park for bragging rights in the CSRA on Wednesday.

This is the sixth time these two have met here at SRP Park, and the Pacers haven’t won since 2022 in North Augusta.

While they’re each fighting for a chance to improve their standings in the Peach Belt, this is also a chance for many on the roster to show out in front of their hometown in a MILB stadium.

Each have 10 local products that could make their way into the lineup on Wednesday.

Some things are just bigger than the scoreboard, and this is a chance to not only showcase the Peach Belt but also the CSRA

When it comes to the game, it can go either way between these two.

Both have been in a rut; USC Aiken has dropped their last two conference series and the Jaguars are three straight games in the hole.

Red Kettle Campaign short 0K of goal as it enters its final days

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Salvation Army of Augusta’s Red Kettle Campaign is working to close a $100,000 gap before Christmas Eve.

With just 11 days left in the 2025 Red Kettle Campaign, the Salvation Army of Augusta is urging the community to rally together.

The Red Kettle Campaign is the largest fundraiser of the year for The Salvation Army.

The campaign funds programs and services that support neighbors in need throughout the entire year.

Every penny donated through the Red Kettles stays in the Augusta area, ensuring local impact.

Proceeds from the campaign directly support the Center of Hope. In addition to providing a safe place to sleep, the Center of Hope operates a soup kitchen that serves approximately 200 meals every day.

In the past year, the Salvation Army has assisted more than 900 local residents through its rent and utility assistance program.

“The Red Kettle represents so much more than a simple donation—it represents hope for families right here in our community,” said Major Jonathan Raymer, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Augusta.

“Every dollar dropped into the kettle helps provide shelter, meals, case management, and stability for our neighbors who need it most. With just days left in this campaign, we are asking the CSRA to show up in a big way.”

The Salvation Army of Augusta is encouraging community members to donate when they see a Red Kettle. For those who are cashless, donations can be made online at donateaugusta.org.
