With the GreenJackets leading 1-0 after one, Blake Rutherford drew a walk to lead off the top of the second. He then stole second to begin the base running parade for the RiverDogs. He came in to score on a single by Donny Sands to tie the game at one.

He came back up to lead off the top of the fourth, doubled, and then stole third. On the same pitch he stole third, the ball got by GreenJackets catcher Will Albertson allowing him to come in to score giving the RiverDogs the lead. Charleston added another run that inning on a two out, dropped third strike which resulted in a passed ball scoring Brandon Wagner from third.

He advanced to third on a ground out by Estevan Florial and then came in to score on a ground out by Diego Castillo giving the RiverDogs a 4-1 lead.
