CHARLESTON, S.C. - Looking to close out the season strong, the RiverDogs will open the gates down at The Joe for one final weekend. Over the course of their final four games, the Charleston club will mark the start of college football kickoff, ask "why not?" as they celebrate "No Rhyme or Reason Night," and entertain the masses with plenty of family fun as they wrap up the season over the Labor Day holiday.
With 285,512 already pouring through the turnstiles at Riley Park this year, Charleston is poised to eclipse the 300,000 mark in attendance for just the second time in franchise history. With a strong showing by the RiverDogs faithful, the club has a chance to surpass last year's record total of 305,622 as they welcome in the West Virginia Power, the Class A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, for a four-game stay to wrap up the 2018 campaign:

It's also a Red Shirt Friday at The Joe; fans that wear red to match the Dogs on the field can save a buck at the gate with the option to donate that dollar to the Palmetto Military Support Group.

And most importantly, for one night only, ABSOLUTELY NO QUICHE WILL BE PERMITTED INSIDE THE BALLPARK. Don't forget to sign in at the guest book at the front gate; you won't want to miss out. As part of the Saturdays Live at The Joe presented by NASH FM and Fox 24, fans can stick around for monetary reasons after the game with a chance to win $10,000 as part of the final fly-in helicopter ball drop of the season.

For those that can't make it out to the park, Sunday contest will be broadcast on MyTV Charleston, Channel 36 over air in the Lowcountry, with Matt Dean and ABC News 4's Scott Eisberg on the call one last time this season.
Monday, September 3, 2:05 p.m.: Dog Day Afternoon/Fan Appreciation Game: Charleston closes out the 2018 season with a Monday Dog Day Afternoon presented by 98Rock.

Phillips Award, recognizing an individual that has had a positive community impact with the RiverDogs organization.
Charleston fans can also bid on the RiverDogs home white jerseys featuring the commemorative "175 in dog years" patch celebrating the club's 25th season that will be auctioned off during the game, benefitting the Campaign for MUSC Shawn Jenkin's Children's Hospital.
