It looked like the RiverDogs would cruise to a 2-1 victory until the Tourists tied the game in the ninth inning. Alex Smith faltered a bit in the 13th inning and the RiverDogs couldn't recover in the bottom of the frame. DePaula's only run came on a solo shot in the fourth inning. Otherwise, it was business as usual with eight punch outs in five innings. Evan Rutckyj starts for Charleston today at 6:05 pm.
