Northern Division W L GB *Delmarva (Orioles) 48 20 - Charleston's (36-33) lone run came in the bottom of the fifth inning, when the first four RiverDogs Greensboro (Pirates) 43 25 5.0 reached against Greenville (32-37) starter Alex Scherff (3-5, 4.35). Welfrin Mateo, making his first Hickory (Rangers) 40 25 6.5 start in three days, led off the frame with his first double since joining Charleston on June 9. Eduardo West Virginia (Mariners) 36 33 12.5 Navas attempted to lay down a sacrifice bunt in effort to get his teammate over to third with one Hagerstown (Nationals) 30 39 18.5 away, and ended up with an infield single when the ball was not fielded cleanly by Scherff. Kannapolis (White Sox) 28 39 19.5 Doggie Bites Lakewood (Phillies) 28 41 20.5 • Another Time Through: Since last Wednesday (June 5), the RiverDogs have had the best pitching run in the league, turning in a 2.08 ERA that leads the SAL over the past 11 days and Southern Division W L GB just 28 runs allowed (2nd best) over that stretch. Despite the impressive run, the RiverDogs are Lexington (Royals) 36 32 - just 5-6 over that span and tied with the Augusta GreenJackets for second place in the SAL Augusta (Giants) 35 32 0.5 Southern Division, a half-game back of the first place Lexington Legends. Charleston (Yankees) 36 33 0.5 • Holding Out for a Hero: Following Charleston’s 5-1 loss on Saturday night, the RiverDogs fell Greenville (Red Sox) 32 37 4.5 into a tie for second place with the Augusta GreenJackets, also losers last night, in the SAL Rome (Braves) 30 38 6.0 Southern Division. The Lexington Legends have taken sole possession of first place in the Asheville (Rockies) 29 40 7.5 division by a half-game following their third straight win. All hope is not lost for the RiverDogs, but Columbia (Mets) 24 41 10.5 their playoff hopes remain on life support entering the final day of the first half. Charleston needs *clinched first-half both Augusta and Lexington to lose their respective games, and the Dogs must beat the RiverDogs Quick Stats Greenville Drive Sunday afternoon as well in order to clinch. If Charleston were to finish tied with Augusta, the title would go to 1st Half Record: 36-33 the GreenJackets, owners of the better winning percentage, by virtue of having played two fewer games, and therefore the tie- 2nd Half Record: 0-0 breaker. Home Record: 18-17 • First-Round Pedigree: Catcher Anthony Seigler, the Yankees’ first-round pick at 23rd overall last year, joined the RiverDogs Road Record: 18-16 on Monday night in Rome and made his Single-A debut less than 30 miles away from his hometown of Cartersville, Ga. When Current Streak: L2 Seigler was taken by the Yankees last year, he became the highest pick the Bronx Bombers had used on a catcher since Current Home Streak: L2 Current Road Streak: L1 Thurmon Munson was taken fourth overall in 1968. He is the highest drafted talent to play for the RiverDogs since OF Blake th This Homestand: 1-2 Rutherford in 2017 (18 overall) and the second-highest pick since No. 1 overall selection Delmon Young in 2004. Last Road Trip: 1-2 • Put him in the books: Brandon Lockridge’s impressive first-half continued as he became just the 21st RiverDog and the 33rd Last Five: 2-3 player in Charleston’s franchise history (circa 1980) to post a 10 HR-10 SB season, ripping his historic 10th blast on Friday Last Ten: 4-6 night in his 63rd game. Before Lockridge, Charleston’s most recent 10-and-10 campaign came in 2017, when now Yankees’ Team AVG (rank): .240 (6th) No. 1 prospect Estevan Florial swiped 17 bases and popped 11 homers over 91 games with Charleston; it took the 19-year-old Team HR (rank): 56 (4th) th th Runs Scored: 309 (T3rd) standout until June 24 to accomplish the feat when he hit his 10 homer in his 64 game at Greenville. Tyler Austin (2012) was Team ERA (rank): 3.67 (9th) the quickest to accomplish the feat in the past seven seasons for the Dogs, crossing the 10 stolen base threshold 41 games Team K (rank): 663 (4th) into the season on May 21. With two doubles on Saturday, the Troy product became the fourth RiverDog since 2011 to hit at Team SV (rank): 16 (T7th) least 20 doubles before the All-Star Break, and the first since Greg Bird hit 20 two-baggers in 62 games in 2013. 2019 vs. GVL: 6-4 • Not Good Enough: After a 15-5 stretch from April 25-May 16, the RiverDogs have gone 13-16 over their last 29 games since May 17, losing their first-place position in the SAL Southern Division in the process. Charleston ranks T-10th in the SAL in hitting during that span (.233), with middle-of-the-pack numbers in on-base percentage (.319, T-6th), slugging percentage (.375, 7th) and OPS (.694, 5th). The Dogs have earned just 359 total bases during that stretch, good for 6th in the SAL. Charleston’s staff ERA is 3.74 in that span as well, ranking 7th, and its pitchers have walked the fourth-most opposing hitters (99) and sit in seventh in the league in strikeouts (260). • Pinstriped Prospects: The RiverDogs once again tap into a deep farm system in the New York Yankees in their 14th season of affiliation with the 27-time World Champs. Losing some of their organizational talent due to promotions and trades, the Yankees’ system fell from the second-best in the game to 20th on the Baseball America rankings heading into 2019. Despite this, the Bronx Bombers are stocked with intriguing talent at the lower levels, including eight of the Yanks’ pre-season Top-30 prospects currently on the RiverDogs roster (MLB.com/BA): C Anthony Seigler (6/4), RHP Roansy Contreras (10/7), RHP Luis Medina (14/11), RHP Luis Gil (13/25), C Josh Breaux (15/30), OF Josh Stowers (25/--), RHP Tanner Myatt (29/--), and RHP Harold Cortijo (30/--).
