GAME #101: Jackets Fall 6-2, Look For Series Split Tomorrow

North Augusta, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs (Tampa Bay Rays) left 10 men-on-base, but it didn't faze them. They took the fifth game of the series 6-2. The GreenJackets will return tomorrow looking to guarantee a series split.

Dylan Dodd made his SRP Park debut and did not disappoint. The 3rd round selection in the 2021 MLB Draft allowed three runs over 3.2 innings. At one point he struck out five consecutive RiverDogs.

When Dodd left in the fourth, the game was scoreless, but the bases were loaded. All three runs eventually scored in the fourth and were charged to Dodd. Garrett Hiott walked with the bases loaded allowing one run to score. Two more runs came home on a Johan Lopez double.

The Jackets tacked a run on in the fourth inning. Adam Zebrowski earned his first double and RBI as a GreenJacket. In the fifth inning, Landon Stephens doubled to make it just a 3-2 Charleston lead.

The RiverDogs offense was too much though. They scored three times in the seventh inning. Tanner Murray brought home two runs with a double. A Matt Dyer double brought home one more. Charleston led 6-2.

Dylan Spain provided two-innings of scoreless baseball out of the Jackets bullpen in his debut, but Augusta was kept quiet the rest of the way.

NOTES:

• Landon Stephens collected his 54th RBI.
• Stephen Paolini finished the night 2-for-4.
• Cade Bunnell went 2-for-5.
