The Charleston RiverDogs are the Lowcountry’s semi-pro baseball team… and they know how to put on a great game!

The Riverdogs have had a very exciting season this year. Yesterday, the Dogs won both games of a doubleheader against Augusta, improving their record to 69-61. Charleston edged Augusta in a close first game, 3-2. But it was the second game when the excitement really started. Trailing 8-0, the Dogs rallied to tie the game and force extra innings. In the 11th inning, Charleston scored to win the game, 9-8.

Only 8 games remain this season, with only 5 of those being home games. This means your chances are limited in enjoying a night at the ballpark. The RiverDogs finish the season with a five game homestand against the Savannah Sand Gnats. The first of the five games is on Thursday, Sept. 3.

Each night boasts an exciting promotion that you’re sure to love. Check out the schedule below:
