Multi-HR Day for Gustafson as RiverDogs Overpower Sand Gnats, 7-4
The rain did not keep Charleston and Savannah from finishing their game.

Getting a good performance from designated hitter Bob Gustafson, the Charleston RiverDogs defeated the Savannah Sand Gnats, 7-4. Gustafson was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 6 for the RiverDogs. The RiverDogs now have a record of 39-45 with the win over Savannah.

With Charleston trailing 3-2 in the top of the fifth, Gustafson hit a fastball from Dave Gaines for a grand slam home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the RiverDogs ahead, 6-3.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Gustafson said.
