Fred Lewis 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 K

Scottie Allen, who is clearly full of black magic for not striking out anyone in six innings, pitched well enough to win, but he gave up his shutout in the seventh inning and his offense couldn't bail him out. Bryan Mitchell gets the start today at 7 pm against the Dunedin Blue Jays.

Charleston kicks off a series against the Rome Braves tonight at 7:05 pm at The Joe.
