Columbia, S.C. – After allowing four runs in the first, the Charleston RiverDogs fell 6-2 to the Columbia Fireflies on Wednesday night at Segra Park. 

The Fireflies opened scoring out of the gate by batting around in the bottom of the first inning. In the process, they pushed across four runs, highlighted by RBI triples from Sean Gamble and Stone Russell. Columbia tallied two more runs in the bottom of the second to extend their lead to six. 

Right hander Ethan Strom settled in out of the pen, completing four innings of two-run ball while fanning five hitters. 

Trendan Parish also delivered a scoreless inning. Charleston jumped on the board in the top of the fourth when Brendan Summerhill rolled an RBI single to center to make it 6-1.

The RiverDogs pushed across another in the top of the fifth when Alberth Palma crossed home on an error to cap scoring at 6-2. 

Fireflies starter Kendry Chourio was stout, tossing five innings while allowing just one earned run. Jhon Reyes and Andy Basora retired the final six hitters in order to end the ballgame. 

With the loss, Charleston fell to 23-23 while Columbia moved to 21-25. The RiverDogs currently trail Hickory by 3.5 games for first place in the Carolina League South division.
