Charleston Riverdogs 3, Columbia Fireflies 2 (47-69) Box Score

• 3B Mark Vientos 1-4, K
• C Hayden Senger 1-3, R, BB
• LF Guillermo Granadillo 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI

The Fireflies were 2-for-8 with RISP and stranded six runners on base. Those numbers hurt their chances in a game where they were unable to make a 1-0 lead entering the ninth inning stick. Even more troublesome was Shervyen Newton having to pinch run for Vientos who left the game with an apparent leg injury.

• Cole Gordon H (2), 2.1 IP, H, 0 R, 0 ER, BB, 5 K
• Allan Winans BS (1), L (1-3), 1.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, K

Acosta an intriguing arm who throws 92-94 with a nice cutter and slider making him a guy to watch closely. Winans had an opportunity to work around a lead-off double in the ninth, but his wild pitch allowed the tying run to score. In the 10th, he once again surrendered the lead, and he would take the loss on a Josh Stowers walk-off single.
