North Augusta triumphs in first playoff game at new stadium

NORTH AUGUSTA, Sc. (WJBF)- North Augusta took on Aiken in the 4A baseball playoffs.

It was game one and both teams are familiar with each other. They played each other earlier this season and tied the series one to one.

But it wasn’t just that game they were familiar with each other from. In last year’s game three, the Yellow Jackets and Hornets met face to face.

So both teams new what was at stake today, but North Augusta stepped up to the plate and won their first playoff matchup in their new stadium.

“So many emotions right now. It’s just a, you know, first ever home game. Here at this on this campus. Big time playoff game against, Intel, our cross-town rival. It’s a big game. Big time, big crowd here for us. I’m so proud of our team for showing up and playing the way we did. I expect us to play that way. No matter what stage we’re on. So, But. But when in the first home game, if ever at this field is something I’ll never forget,” said Head Coach Kevin Lynn.

North Augusta will play Gray Collegiate Academy May 5th.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
