Charleston, S.C. - The Charleston RiverDogs carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning as they earned a tight 2-1 win over the Fayetteville Woodpeckers on Sunday night in front of 5,055 fans at Joseph P. Riley Jr, Park.

After Alex Wallace recorded a scoreless first, Trey Pooser took over in the second and was dominant. Over five relief innings, he didn't allow a hit and fanned six hitters. He earned his team-leading fourth win in the process.
