AUGUSTA, Ga. - After a near-100 degree afternoon it was a sweltering evening. That didn't stop a big crowd from heading into the heat to watch the Greenjackets Friday night.

Fans had one word to describe the game.
"It's hot! It's really hot," said Jayla Waugh.

By gametime, the weather cooled to the mid-90s, but in-the heat, it felt even hotter.

"About 100 degrees," Waugh estimated.

Medics say one man had a little too much heat, but with some water, he was just fine. And everyone else found their own way to keep cool.

There was a long line at the Dippin Dots stand and the misting area was packed.

With help from their fans, and maybe a cold beer, GreenJackets fans were ready to cheer.

The GreenJackets lost the game to Rome, 11 to 8.
