Ivan Nova threw seven solid innings in the RiverDog’s 4-1 win over Rome.  He gave up just one run on five hits and he struck out four.

Seth Fortenberry drove in two runs in the win.  Wilmer Pino went two for four with a double, an RBI and a run.

Michael Dunn gave up just four hits and a walk with four strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.  The win pushed him to 2-0 and he’s now given up just three earned runs in three starts with 18 strikeouts in 15 innings.  The left hander has been particularly effective against left handers, who haven’t gotten a hit or a walk off of him but the sample size is small (eight at bats).

Wilmer Pino scored the lone run of the game for either side.  He finished two for five in the 1-0 win.

Grant Duff was very impressive in the RiverDogs 2-1 win over Greenville.  He threw five shutout innings and he gave up just one hit and three walks with six strikeouts.

Wilmer Pino doubled and drove in a run while Josue Calzado doubled and scored a run.  They scored just enough for the win though.

The RiverDogs got it all.  They got some very good hitting and they also received some exception pitching.  Austin Jackson had a big game at the plate.  He went two for four with a homerun, a double, three RBIs and two runs.  Wilmer Pino hit a two run shot while Jose Gil singled, drew a walk and scored twice.

On the mound, Eric Hacker had a solid start.  He threw six shutout innings and gave up just three hits with five strikeouts.

Five Charleson pitchers combined for ten shutout innings and fourteen strikeouts in the RiverDogs 1-0 win over Greenville.  Timothy Norton led the way with five shutout innings and five strikeouts.

The only run of the game came in the bottom of the tenth when Wilmer Pino singled home Christopher Malec.  Malec was the only RiverDog with two hits.
