Charleston Breaks Through for First Win in Round 1; Now Trails 2-1
Facing elimination, the Charleston RiverDogs were looking for a savior. For today, at least, Stan Lester delivered.

At Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, the 22-year-old pitched a game for the ages to fend off the Rome Hammers and help the RiverDogs close their deficit in the Round 1. Lester threw a 9-inning, complete-game shutout in the 4-0 Charleston win, striking out 10 and allowing 5 hits. The RiverDogs now trail 2-1 in the best-of-5 series.

Lester allowed no runs on 5 hits over 9 innings for the RiverDogs. He walked 1 and struck out 10.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Charleston manager Brian Rupp.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park in Charleston.
