Sea Dogs Win Thriller, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Charleston Sea Dogs and the Cincinnati Royals, Andy Weatherholt was the X factor. The Charleston left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Charleston has won 9 straight, while Cincinnati has lost 3 in a row.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the ninth when Nelson Ziersch hit a run-scoring double off 22-year old right-handed pitcher Josh Hunter to win the game for Charleston. The home crowd went wild.

"We're in some kind of groove right now," said Weatherholt.
