Charleston, S.C. - The Charleston RiverDogs had their 12-game winning streak snapped in their 6-0 loss to the Hickory Crawdads in front of 3,448 fans on Saturday night at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park.

Their 12-game win streak marked the longest in franchise history since at least 2005. With four games left in the first half, they hold a three-game lead over Hickory for first place. With a win tomorrow, they would clinch a playoff berth.

Hickory opened scoring in the top of the third on an error and RBI triple from Angel Arrendondo that made it 2-0.

They pushed across two more in the fifth and two more in the seventh to cap scoring at 6-0.

Hickory pitching was stellar, as four arms combined for nine scoreless innings.

In the process they fanned nine hitters on just five hits. Charleston finished the night 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.

With the loss, the RiverDogs fell to 36-26 while Hickory moved to 32-28. The two return to The Joe tomorrow for game six of the series. First pitch is slated for 5:05 p.m. with coverage beginning at 4:50 p.m.

Ballpark Fun:

Pedal to the Metal Night at The Joe brought the speed all Saturday long.

With a Chandler Simpson bobblehead giveaway leading the way, the ballpark leaned fully into a night themed around speed, which was fitting for one of the fastest players in baseball. Fans packed the stadium early, many sporting racecar shirts, jerseys, and checkered-flag gear, bringing energy from the moment gates opened.

The in-game fun kept the theme rolling all night, with kids racing around in cardboard "cars," tire-shaped pool floats taking over promotions, and speed-inspired entertainment around every corner.
