(WHITAKER BANK BALLPARK, Lexington, Ky.) Ali Castillo's 10th-inning double scored Casey Stevenson from first base with the only run of the game as the Charleston RiverDogs defeated the Lexington Legends 1-0 Saturday night. Charleston starter Corey Black and three relievers combined to limit the Legends to one hit, a leadoff double by Chan Jong Moon in the first inning. The loss extended the Legends' losing streak to 10 games.

Lexington starter David Rollins pitched seven and two-thirds innings of shutout baseball, striking out 10 batters while only allowing three hits. No Charleston runner reached third base against Rollins.

Dante Bichette Jr. led off the 10th inning with a double, but was thrown out trying to reach third when Stevenson hit a ground ball to Lexington shortstop Nolan Fontana. Stevenson reached first base on the play, and then came around to score when Castillo followed with a double down the right field line.

Dan Mahoney (2-0) who entered the game in the eighth inning, tossed two scoreless innings and picked up the win. Pedro Guerra issued a one-out walk in the bottom of the 10th, but struck out the side to earn his seventh save of the season.

Dayan Diaz (4-4), who entered at the start of the ninth inning, was handed the loss.

Charleston has taken the first three games of the series, which concludes Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m.
