Popular Start Times Continue to Accommodate Fans

CHARLESTON, SC - Countless Charleston RiverDogs fans have passion about many things that range from the team's famed food & beverage creations to the traditional Thirsty Thursdays, Fireworks Fridays, and Family Sundays.

"We have always taken pride in our customer service and we are simply reacting to what many fans have told us," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols. "We listen to all suggestions and when it is the right thing to do, we'll adjust and do it."Another item that our fans care greatly about is the start times for the 70 home games at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

Therefore, all Saturday home games will once again have a 6:05 pm first pitch as the RiverDogs announce their game times for the 2014 season.

The team's games on Monday through Friday will continue to feature the traditional 7:05 pm start time while Sundays' first pitch will again be at 5:05.
