CHARLESTON, SC - Following a four-game series at Columbus, the Charleston RiverDogs return home for a three-game homestand beginning Saturday at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

The RiverDogs, the second-year Class-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, welcome the Washington Nationals' SAL affiliate, the Savannah Sand Gnats.

This set against the Sand Gnats marks the fifth series the two teams have faced each other this season. The RiverDogs have won 11 of the 18 games between the two teams.

The three-game homestand begins Saturday with Bat Night presented by Pierce, Herns, Sloan, and McLeod, and WCSC TV-5. The first 1,000 fans through the gates receive a 30-inch baseball bat. Gates open at 6 p.m. with the first pitch coming at 7:05.

Sunday is another Family Day presented by Charleston Parks & Recreation and the Charleston IMAX Theater. Family Sundays offer parents and children the opportunity to play catch on the field before the game, and kids are permitted to run the bases and secure autographs from RiverDogs players following the game. Sunday afternoon's game time is 4:05 p.m. Sunday is also Dog Day No. 3, featuring Lowcountry Dog Agility. Dog Days allow dog owners an opportunity to take their four-legged friends to the ballpark.

On Monday The Joe will turn into a water fun park for the annul Big Splash Day presented by Smuckers, Sunny 96.9 FM and Charleston Water Systems. First pitch is set for 12:05 p.m. and fans are encouraged to come to the park to soak up the afternoon rays and also get soaked with water. RiverDogs' staffers will use water guns, water balloons and the Charleston Fire Department will be cooling fans down with their water cannon.
