CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Fireflies were shutout as they dropped the rubber match 3-0 to the Charleston RiverDogs Sunday afternoon at The Joe.

Jordan Woods threw another scoreless start for the Fireflies. The southpaw added three innings without a run to his ledger, giving him seven scoreless innings on the week.

Charleston got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. After Jose Gutierrez (L, 0-2) got the first two RiverDogs out, Larry Martinez and Jeter Garcia had back-to-back singles that scored Martinez to break the scoreless tie.

The RiverDogs added to their lead in the sixth. Theo Gillen hit a lead-off single and scored from second on a wild pitch. Larry Martinez singled before coming around on a throwing error from Gutierrez to make it a 3-0 game.

After that, the pitching staff settled down for Columbia. Elvis Novas worked 1.1 scoreless and Yimi Presinal closed things out with a scoreless eighth.
