Homestand Preview: RiverDogs Ready for Heroic Homestand
The RiverDogs welcome the Columbia Fireflies to Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park from June 21-26 for the final homestand of June. The first half of the season wraps up after the game on Thursday, June 23, at which point the teams leading each of the Carolina League’s divisions will secure a postseason berth. The RiverDogs are in a battle with Myrtle Beach for the top spot in the South Division. Off the field, the week will feature a visit from Captain America on Marvel Defenders of the Diamond Night and Silent Night.
Below is a list of all of the fun the RiverDogs have planned for this week Tuesday-Sunday:
Tuesday, June 21, 7:05 p.m.: Dog Day presented by Twisted Tea: We hope to see you and your dog at the game on this night! The RiverDogs invite you to bring your pup to The Joe for each Tuesday home game this season. In addition, enjoy $2 hot dogs and beer as Twisted Tea adds a new twist to Tuesdays this season with goofy on-field games and fan-oriented fun throughout the game. Tuesday games are presented by 96.9 The Wolf.
Wednesday, June 22, 7:05 p.m.: Peanut-Free Game/Charleston Idol/Wicked Wednesday presented by Wicked Weed: Along with Charleston Allergy and Asthma, the RiverDogs will make the ballpark safe for those with peanut allergies on Peanut-Free night. There will be no peanuts sold at the game and sections 101 and 102 will be deep-cleaned and available for fans with severe allergies. In between inning, fans will be singing karaoke with the crowd voting for a winner to be crowned “Charleston Idol”. Also, make sure to keep an eye out every Wednesday for a new wicked ticket deal. This week, grandstand tickets are just $5.01, the same price as the national average for a gallon of gas, with the code: PUMP.
Thursday, June 23, 7:05 p.m.: Thirsty Thursday™ presented by Budweiser/Rent Free Giveaway: There is a reason that Thursday nights at The Joe provide one of the best atmospheres in Minor League Baseball. As always, $1 beers are available throughout the ballpark all night long. Are dollar beers living in your head rent free? Well, maybe we can help someone with their rent by giving away $1,000 (must be 18 or older to win). $4 well cocktails will also be available during “happy hour” from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Enjoy live music in the Ashley View Pub courtesy of DJ DollaMenu or feel free to play a game of cornhole on the concourse. Bottoms up! Thursdays are presented by 95sx.
Friday, June 24, 7:05 p.m.: Friday Fireworks presented by REV Federal Credit Union/Boeing Red Shirt Friday: The RiverDogs will shine a spotlight on active duty and retired military members and their families, while the team wears their new red alternate jerseys on the field. The red jerseys will be auctioned to fans at the end of the season. Following every Friday night contest make sure to stick around for the best fireworks show in the Lowcountry! Enjoy this week’s fireworks to a soundtrack of Kids Movie hits. Fridays are presented by 103.5 WEZL and Live 5 News.
Saturday, June 25, 6:05 p.m.: Marvel Defenders of the Diamond Night/Saturdays Live at The Joe presented by Breeze Airways/Post-Game Light Show: We’ve seen plenty of heroic achievements at The Joe over the years, but this night will take it to a new level. Make sure to come to the ballpark for Marvel Defenders of the Diamond Night and meet Captain America in the flesh! The RiverDogs will take the field in Captain America themed jerseys and there will be a Marvel costume contest for fans. The jerseys will be available via auction in September. In addition, there will be a digital Marvel Defenders of the Diamond comic book available at the game. You never know what kind of fun is in store when you walk into the ballpark on a Saturday Live at The Joe! After the game, stick around for a light show featuring our LED ballpark lights! Saturdays are presented by 92.5 Kickin’ Country, 101.7 Chuck FM and FOX 24.
Sunday, June 26, 5:05 p.m.: Silent Night with Charleston Mini-Mime Troupe/ MUSC Health Family Sunday: Silence is a virtue at this Sunday evening contest as we are joined by the Charleston Mini-Mime Troupe. We will also be joined by ASL interpreters from the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind. During this game, fans are encouraged to remain silent when the Fireflies are at the plate and make as much noise as possible while the RiverDogs are batting in an effort to call attention to those effected by hearing loss in the Lowcountry. Parking is free! Before, during and after each Sunday home game, we will make it all about the kids. From the video board, to between innings contests, and even the opportunity to run the bases, Sundays are sure to be a memorable day for the whole family. Sundays are presented by Mix 95.9, Star 99.7 and ABC News 4.
