Charleston, SC – The Charleston RiverDogs earned their eleventh walk-off win of the season in their 6-5 win over the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers in ten innings on Friday night, in front of 3,745 fans at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

With the victory, the RiverDogs evened the series at two games apiece and moved to 3-3 in extra innings.

The RiverDogs opened the game emphatically, beginning when Cooper Flemming grounded an RBI single to center to make it 1-0.

Later in the frame, Brady Marget pounded an RBI double to left and Dean Moss lined an RBI double to right to push Charleston ahead 4-0.

In the top of the fifth, Kannapolis responded with a five-run third to jump ahead 5-4. Charleston evened the score in the fourth when Flemming lifted a sacrifice fly to left.

Both sides traded scoreless frames through the ninth. Miguel Toscano dominated in his Single-A debut, retiring all 12 hitters he faced with four strikeouts. In the process, he earned the win.

Tied at 5-5 in the bottom of the tenth, Yirer Garcia stepped to the plate with runners at the corners, and blasted a walk-off single off the wall in right field to win the game. Charleston's eleven walk-off wins this year match the highest single-season total since 2005.

With the victory, the RiverDogs moved to 59-46 and 23-17 in the second half, while Kannapolis fell to 54-52, and 22-19 in the second half.
