RiverDogs top Lakewood, 5-1, to complete sweep
Charleston scored five runs in the second inning and shut out Lakewood for the final eight innings to earn a 5-1 win and a series sweep with 4,737 on hand at Riley Park on Friday night.
The win kept the RiverDogs in first with the best record in the South Atlantic League at 19-7.
Lakewood (9-17) scored first against the RiverDog’s Brett Gerritse in the first, but that would be it.
