After coming out on the losing end of a 13-inning affair Saturday night, the RiverDogs needed to 2019 First-Half Standings break out in a big way Sunday afternoon. They certainly did. Led by left fielder Canaan Smith's cycle, Charleston (20-16) won its 20th game of the season in convincing fashion by a final score of 13-5 Northern Division W L GB over the Hickory Crawdads at L.P. Frans Stadium. Delmarva (Orioles) 26 6 - Greensboro (Pirates) 23 11 4.0 Crawdads (23-12) starter Tim Brennan (2-2, 5.45) was able to work around a first-inning, two-out Hickory (Rangers) 23 12 4.5 double by Smith in a scoreless top of the frame, something that would prove tough to come by for West Virginia (Mariners) 20 15 7.5 Crawdads pitching Sunday afternoon. RiverDogs righty Luis Medina (0-2, 8.49) did one better, Kannapolis (White Sox) 16 18 11.0 striking out Curtis Terry in a perfect bottom half of the inning. Hagerstown (Nationals) 16 19 11.5

• RiverDogs, So Hot Right Now: Following the 13-5 rout yesterday, the RiverDogs enter Game 3 having won 12 of their last 16. After ranking among the bottom four in the league in runs scored Southern Division W L GB (3.4 per game) over the first 20 games of the season, the RiverDogs have scored 90 over their Charleston (Yankees) 20 16 - current 16-game tear (5.6 per game), while continuing their strong run prevention with 55 allowed Lexington (Royals) 17 18 2.5 over that stretch. Augusta (Giants) 17 18 2.5 • The Crawdads can pitch: The Hickory Crawdads enter Monday morning with the third-best Rome (Braves) 16 19 3.5 team ERA in the South Atlantic League (3.10) in 310.2 IP, as well as the fifth-best starting staff Greenville (Red Sox) 14 21 5.5 ERA in the SAL (3.34). The staff has also walked the third-fewest hitters in the SAL (94) and Asheville (Rockies) 13 22 6.5 owns the third-best WHIP in the league (1.13). Today’s starter, Yerry Rodriguez, enters the Columbia (Mets) 11 24 8.5 contest coming off a brilliant 12-strikeout performance against the Kannapolis Intimidators on May 6, when he allowed only a single hit and four walks in 5 IP.

• Watch out for these guys: Crawdads 1B Curtis Terry, 3B Jonathan Ornelas and OF Pedro Gonzalez have been tearing the th RiverDogs Quick Stats cover off the ball as of late, with all three ranking among the league leaders in several offensive categories: Ornelas is# Second4 in -Half Division1st Half Record: Winner 20-16 AVG (.327), 9th in OPS (.881), 11th in total hits (35); Terry is T-4th in HR (7), T-1st in RBI (29), 5th in SLG (.556), 8th in OPS 2nd Half Record: 0-0 (.884, one spot above Ornelas), 1st in 2B (16), 1st in XBH (22), 4th in TB (70); Gonzalez is T-4th in HR (7). Charleston just Home Record: 8-9 missed facing catcher , who was called up to the Class-A Advanced on May 9. At the time of Road Record: 12-7 his callup, Huff was leading the league in HR (15), RBI (29, tied with Terry), SLG (.796), OPS (1.165, one of six players with an Current Streak: W1 OPS north of 1.000), TB (86), and was second in XBH (20, behind Terry). Current Home Streak: L1 Current Road Streak: W1 • Keep them reeling: After losing Game 2 yesterday, the Crawdads enter Monday morning having lost their last series, 2 games Last Homestand: 2-1 to 1, to the after splitting a 4-game series with the Kannapolis Intimidators. Hickory dropped to 23-12, and This Road Trip: 1-1 has won just four of its last nine games, dating back to the opener against Kannapolis on May 3. Charleston enters Game 2 Last Five: 3-2 tied for 1st in the SAL in hitting (.266), and 2nd in OPS (.771), SLG (.435), OBP (.335) and total bases (242) since April 25. With Last Ten: 7-3 their five doubles yesterday, the Dogs have taken the league lead in two-baggers during that span as well (43). How are they Team AVG (rank): .241 (5th) doing it? Hitting the ball in the air; since April 25, the Dogs have grounded into only three double plays, 12 overall this season, Team HR (rank): 27 (T3rd) both marking the fewest in the SAL, so they’ll look to keep their bats hot in the series finale with the stingy Hickory pitching Runs Scored: 157 (6th) Team ERA (rank): 3.53 (9th) staff. Team K (rank): 377 (1st) • Swing and Miss Stuff: Charleston’s dominant staff enters play leading the South Atlantic League with 377 strikeouts (10.7 Team SV (rank): 9 (T4th) K/9). The RiverDogs’ swing-and-miss staff has racked up double-digit strikeouts in 21 of their last 30 contests. Luis Gil leads 2019 vs. HIC: 1-1 the Dogs with 44 strikeouts on the season and has fanned at least 8 batters in each of his last four starts. • Rotation, Rotation, Rotation: Despite all the occasional offensive struggles to start the 2019 campaign, the RiverDogs’ six-man rotation has held up its end so far this season. While Charleston’s staff ERA ranks just 9th in the league, the starting staff has produced a 3.09 ERA that is 2nd in the SAL circuit; if you remove Luis’ Medina’s forgettable first start in which he allowed 10 runs in two innings, that starters’ ERA drops to 2.61, which would rank as the second-best starting rotation in the league. On the other end, Charleston’s bullpen has struggled to start the year, producing a 4.06 ERA that is the 3rd-worst in the league. • Pinstriped Prospects: The RiverDogs will again tap into a deep farm system in the New York Yankees. Losing some of their organizational talent due to promotions and trades in the last year, the Yankees’ farm system fell from the second-best system in the game to 20th on the America rankings heading into 2019. Despite this, the Bronx Bombers are stocked with intriguing talent at the lower levels of the farm system, including seven of the Yanks’ pre- season Top-30 prospects opening the season with the RiverDogs (MLB.com/BA): RHP Roansy Contreras (10/7), RHP Luis Medina (14/11), RHP Luis Gil (13/25), C Josh Breaux (15/30), RHP Matt Sauer (17/10), OF Josh Stowers (25/--), and RHP Tanner Myatt (29/--).
