Charleston: A wild game in Charleston tonight. Delmarva broke a 3-3 tied in the top of the 9th by putting up a four-spot, only to have the Riverdogs’ match it with a four-spot of their own (highlighted by a two-out, two-run single by Dante Bichette with the bases loaded). Kelvin DeLeon doubled in a pair

Scranton & Trenton were both off tonight. Charleston: Gary Sanchez had three hits, including a double, and two runs batted in as Charleston scored a run in the 9th to defeat Delmarva, 5-4. The double was his 11th of the season and he is now hitting .354 on the year. He has still yet to
Mason Williams Homers, and NEVER Strikes Out; Tyler Austin; Bryan Mitchell; Abraham Almonte; Rob Segedin; Mikey O’Brien; Mark Montgomery
Notes: Thomas Kahnle (right-handed reliever) and Kyle Higashioka (catcher) made their season debuts for Tampa tonight. Speedy outfielder Jose Toussen has been promoted to Trenton. Seems like it may be a temporary thing, as his performance certainly didn’t scream “Promote me!” He pinch ran and scored a run. From the “what may have been” file:
Ronnier Mustelier Promoted to Scranton; Mason Williams; Caleb Cotham; Corban Joseph Returns; Rob Segedin
Charleston: Delmarva gave the Riverdogs a taste of their own medicine tonight. Down 4-1 entering the ninth, Delmarva put up three in the ninth and two more in the tenth to defeat Charleston, 6-4. Mason Williams went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a run batted in, and his 10th stolen base of the season.

Charleston: Another grind-it-out type of win for the Riverdogs’ tonight as they defeated Lakewood 5-1. Charleston scored those five runs on only five hits, only one of which was for extra bases. Mason Williams returned and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. I guess whatever the injury was, it wasn’t to his
Anderson Feliz; Dellin Betances Effectively (?) Wild; Brandon Laird; Ronnier Mustelier; Cody Johnson; Rob Segedin
Charleston: One of the things this team has shown is the ability to score runs even when they aren’t hitting for much power. Down 4-3 entering the bottom of the 10th inning, the Riverdogs promptly scored a pair of runs to overtake Lakewood, 5-4. Anderson Feliz, who won the game with an infield single, went
Charleston’s Balanced Attack; Manny Banuelos Returns; Ronnier Mustelier; Ramon Flores’ 5-Hit Night; Eduardo Sosa; Nik Turley
Charleston: Seven different players had a hit apiece (five of which were doubles) as the Riverdogs’ used a balanced attack to defeat Lakewood, 5-3. Gary Sanchez doubled (10), drove in a run, and scored a run in the victory. Sanchez is hitting .341, and although the home runs aren’t there yet, the doubles are a

Charleston: Off —————- Scranton: Adam Warren threw five strong innings while Steve Pearce hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning to lead Scranton past Rochester, 5-2. Warren allowed one run on six hits while walking two and striking out two as his ERA lowered to 5.26 (25.2 IP, 33 H, 15 R, 15

Note: Mason Williams left today’s game. No word yet as to why. Quick rundown instead of a full recap below. Charleston: Lost to Hickory, 6-4. Reymond Nunez: 3-for-4, HR (1), 3 RBI (.247/.286/.329) Cito Culver: 3-for-4, 2B, BB, SB (6) – Culver is up to .238/.351/.313 on the season and is 7 for his last
Tyler Austin Homers Again; Gary Sanchez; Brandon Laird; Pat Venditte; Brett Marshall; Abraham Almonte
Charleston: Tyler Austin smacked a three-run home run in the first inning, but that is all of the offense Charleston got in a 12-3 loss to Hickory. The home run was Austin’s 9th of the season. Gary Sanchez, who is hitting .346, went 2-for-4 with a double while Cito Culver put up a 1-for-4 evening
Tyler Austin Up to His Old Tricks; Cito Culver; Mason Williams; Jose Campos Struggles; Phil Wetherell; Walter Ibarra; Melky Mesa
Charleston: Jose Campos’ poor pitching put the Riverdogs in an early 8-4 hole…..but when this offense is at its best, there is no deficit that is impossible to climb. Tyler Austin connected for two home runs, including a grand slam, while driving in seven as Charleston roared past Hickory, 14-9. Austin now has 8 home
Dellin Betances Has Encouraging Outing; Rob Segedin Remains Hot; Nik Turley Cruising Along
Charleston: The losing streak is now up to two as Charleston only managed three hits in a 7-0 loss to Lexington. Gary Sanchez (.343, 8 doubles) doubled and drew a walk in the loss. Ben Gamel (.260) also had a hit. Tough night for William Oliver (2.2 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5
Charleston Finally Loses; Tyler Austin Homers; Rob Segedin; Mikey O’Brien; Mark Montgomery
Charleston: All good things must come to an end; such as the Riverdogs’ 10-game winning streak as Lexington takes a 5-2 decision tonight. Tyler Austin (who else?) hit a solo home run in the loss, his 6th of the season. Oh, he also singled, doubled, and scored two runs on top of that….giving him 17
Bryan Mitchell; Mason Williams; Tyler Austin; Chase Whitley; Cody Johnson; Zach Nuding; Rob Segedin
Charleston: The winning streak has reached 10. Bryan Mitchell dazzled over five innings, while Mason Williams, Anderson Feliz (back to back) and Tyler Austin all homered as Charleston pulled away from Lexington, 9-4.
