The RiverDogs (62-47, 25-18 second half) wasted no time in the first inning when Andremi Antunez powered an RBI double off the wall in right. Two hitters later, Tom Poole lined an RBI single to left to double the lead to 2-0.
After RBI singles from Andres Torres and Alberth Palma extended the lead to four, the RiverDogs added on two more runs on two pitches to the backstop, extending the lead to six.
The six-run first matched a season-high for runs scored in an opening inning (July 4 at Delmarva).
Charleston struck for two more in the third on an RBI single from Torres and RBI groundout by Alberth Palma.
Augusta (57-51, 22-20) supplied a run in the bottom of the fourth before the bullpens settled in. After both traded scoreless innings through the seventh, Brody Donay blasted a solo shot to center to push the advantage to 9-1. He has launched three homers in his last five games.
Augusta tacked on another in the bottom of the eighth before Charleston rallied for two more in the top of ninth when Cooper Flemming lined an RBI double to left, and Taitn Gray followed with an RBI single to cap scoring at 11-2.
Luke Jackson set the tone on the bump, delivering two scoreless frames. Aidan Cremarosa followed with two innings of one-run ball in his return from the injured list. In the process he struck out four.
Seven RiverDogs had at least one RBI, led by two from Palma. Antunez, who had two doubles, had two hits and an RBI along with Torres and Poole.
The two return to the ballpark Thursday for the Game 3 of the series. First pitch is slated for 6:35 p.m. with coverage beginning at 6:20 on the RiverDogs Broadcast Network.
