Savannah Sand Gnats News Release
Savannah, Ga.- On Forrest Gump night at Historic Grayson Stadium, while Forrest waited for his number nine bus, the Gnats were waiting for a hit with runners in scoring position.

The Dogs (9-14/42-51) got the early jump with two runs in the first inning against Savannah starter Robert Gsellman. First baseman Mike Ford drove home the first run with a double down the rightfield line and scored on an error for the second.
