Thrilling Walk-Off Win for Sand Gnats
Sand Gnats catcher Kevin Richardson put his stamp on his team's 5-4 win over the Charleston RiverDogs. Richardson was 3-4 with 3 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for Savannah in the contest. Savannah reliever Dave Gaines picked up the win, raising his record to 3-1. Broderick Varner was tagged with the loss. The win elevated the Sand Gnats to 31-17.

With Savannah trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Richardson delivered the clutch hit against Charleston pitcher Julián Árias. Richardson hit a fastball to center for a 2-run double -- and a walk-off win.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Richardson said.
