The right-hander worked into the fourth inning and faced two batters allowing a double then an RBI single before being lifted for reliever Ryan Shaver.

Charleston took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on an RBI double from Mitch Hilligoss with one out in the inning. Kevin Smith led off the inning with a base hit then moved up to second on Griffin's first wild pitch of the season, then down to third on a ground ball out.

The RiverDogs made it 2-0 in the fourth inning when Seth Fortenberry led off the frame with a double then scored when Kyle Anson connected for a base hit.
