RiverDogs Black Out the Park, Let It Go, in One Big Week at The Joe

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Returning for their penultimate homestand of the season, the first-place RiverDogs have some unfinished business in their final week-long stint at The Joe this year. Disney songs, fashion advice, and koozies will abound along with the absence of the sun as the RiverDogs settle in for a seven-day stint at Joe Riley Park from August 15-21.
The RiverDogs will welcome in the Greenville Drive in the final installment of the Spinx Battle of the Palmetto State and close with a four-game series against the Augusta GreenJackets during a week featuring another Wardrobe Wednesday giveaway, the last MUSC Health Family Sunday in the Holy City of the season and more.
Tuesday, August 15, 7:05pm: Trendy Tuesday- Fashion: From Crocs to socks with sandals, Zubaz to ponchos, the RiverDogs dole out hot takes on fashion trends of past and present in another edition of "Trendy Tuesdays" presented by Magic 107.3 and Z93 Jamz as the RiverDogs highlight a different trending topic each week at The Joe. Fans can strut their stuff with "Take Me Out Tuesday" ticket specials from Harris Teeter featuring two tickets, dinner, and drinks for just $20 at the gate, as well as Landshark specials throughout the game. A fashionable fan cam, grungy rock n' roll air guitar contest, a catwalk contest, and much more. With an 11-9 season series lead over the in-state foes, the Greenville Drive, the RiverDogs can clinch the season series presented by Spinx with a win over the Red Sox affiliate. Also, there will be a special pre-game ceremony to honor scout Jack Bowen, the 2017 Scout Hall of Fame inductee.
