CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Following a week on the road in Maryland, the Charleston RiverDogs happily return to Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The Savannah Sand Gnats (Mets affiliate) visit the Lowcountry for four games followed by an off day Monday, and then three games against the Lexington Legends (Royals affiliate). Both Savannah and Lexington will be making their second and final visits to The Joe this season.
Thursday, August 6, 7:05 pm: This is the eighth of 10 Thirsty Thursdays during the season. Enjoy "Happy Hour" with $1 beers and music in the Ashley View Pub presented by Budweiser. DJ Natty Heavy will once again spin popular tunes throughout the game, presented by 95SX. Every Thursday, the RiverDogs pay homage to the standard red Solo cup, everybody's favorite beverage receptacle. During the Seventh Inning Stretch after "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," the Red Solo Cup song will play in the stadium and all fans in attendance will toast to the red Solo cup.
Friday, August 7, 7:05 pm: Help us honor Ed Creech as he is inducted into the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame. Creech, a native of Columbia, S.C., helped mold the likes of J.D.
