HICKORY, NC - The Charleston RiverDogs struck for five runs after five scoreless innings, defeating the Hickory Crawdads, 5-0, before 888 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium on Monday night.
With the game scoreless through the first five frames, the RiverDogs (57-62, 26-24) finally broke through against Crawdads starter RHP Jake Brigham (3-4, 2.90 ERA) in the top of the sixth. 2B Emerson Landoni led off the inning with a double to right-center field and later scored on an RBI single to right by RF DeAngelo Mack, putting Charleston on the board, 1-0.
The RiverDogs expanded upon their lead in the seventh inning with four more runs (only one earned) against Brigham and RHP Johan Yan. With the bases loaded and two outs, Brigham hit CF Slade Heathcott, bringing in DH Luke Murton from third. The 'Dads then turned to Yan, who surrendered a two-run single to RF DeAngelo Mack, plating LF Neil Medchill and SS Kelvin Castro, with Heathcott moving to third. A wild pitch to C J.R. Murphy then allowed Heathcott to race in from third and put Charleston up by the eventual final score of 5-0.
