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.

Augusta mayoral candidates outline priorities during debate

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Broadway Baptist Church hosted a debate Monday featuring the three candidates seeking to become Augusta’s next mayor.

Candidates Lori Myles, Steven Kendrick and Eric Gaines shared their goals and visions for the city as they campaigned for voters’ support ahead of the upcoming election.

“We need to focus on what the community needs. We’ve got to start being practical in Augusta-Richmond County,” Gaines said.

“I want to create better relationships with both our state and federal officials, so that our city can learn how to bring some of the dollars we need home. I hope I was able to provide enough information for people to choose me as the person to lead the city,” Kendrick said.

“I want them to go out and touch the masses and show that there is a new paradigm shift coming to Augusta. All of us are invested,” Dr. Myles said.

The primary election is scheduled for May 19. In addition to the mayoral race, voters will also decide several other contests, including five Augusta Commission seats.
