Homestand Preview: Final Home Series of Regular Season Filled with Honor and Appreciation
By: RiverDogs Media
The Charleston RiverDogs have one homestand remaining in the regular season and are on the cusp of clinching a third-consecutive berth in the Carolina League playoffs. If that isn’t enough reason to join us at The Joe from August 29-September 3 as the team hosts the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, we have more to entice you. The whole week will carry with it a theme of honor and appreciation. From the induction of three MLB standouts to the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame, to a night dedicated to the men and women who serve our country, we will close the season with plenty of pomp and circumstance.
Below is a list of all the fun the RiverDogs have planned for the week:
Tuesday, August 29, 7:05 p.m.: Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame Induction/Dog Day presented by Twisted Tea: Three Charleston-area natives and former Major League Baseball standouts will be inducted into the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023 prior to the game. The star-studded class is made up of Brett Gardner, Justin Smoak and Matt Wieters. The trio will sign autographs for fans during the RiverDogs game. For the final time this season, the RiverDogs and Twisted Tea invite you to bring your pup to The Joe for tonight’s game. Several between-inning games will feature our four-legged friends and dog dishes filled with water will be positioned throughout the concourse. In addition, enjoy $2 hot dogs and beer. Tuesday games are presented by 96.9 The Wolf.
Wednesday, August 30, 7:05 p.m. Game of Give presented by Berkeley Electric Cooperative and REV Federal Credit Union/Win-It Wednesday/Wildcard Wednesday presented by Wicked Weed: This mid-week contest will showcase the generosity of the Charleston community and give fans a chance to leave with great prizes! For the Game of Give, local businesses donated tickets to area nonprofits, allowing them to enjoy the ballgame. The night is being made possible by Berkeley Electric Cooperative and REV Federal Credit Union. Also, as the season winds down, we don’t want you to leave empty-handed, so we are going to be giving away prizes at random throughout the night! Wednesday games are presented by 105.5 The Bridge.
Thursday, August 31, 7:05 p.m.: Tech Night presented by Blackbaud/Thirsty Thursday™ presented by Budweiser: Tech Night, presented by Blackbaud, will bring together members of Charleston’s growing technology business sector during this game.

The red jerseys, worn by the team during every Friday home game this season, will be auctioned during the game. You could leave with your favorite player’s! Fans are encouraged to wear red to the game as well. Following the contest, make sure to stay in your seats for another post-game fireworks show made possible by REV Federal Credit Union!
