They say time flies when you're having fun. The 2022 Charleston RiverDogs season is a perfect example of that statement. The final homestand of the regular season is right around the corner with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans visiting The Joe from August 30- September 4. The week is jam-packed with jersey auctions, giveaways, live music, fireworks and our final military appreciation night of the season. If that isn't enough to entice you, the team is in first place and battling for a playoff berth and the opportunity to defend the 2021 championship.
Below is a list of all of the fun the RiverDogs have planned for the series running Tuesday-Sunday:

Which canine will rise above the competition to secure this honor? Paws what you are doing and join us to find out. North Charleston dog handler Allen Brown and his champion level giant schnauzer, Kheif, will be in attendance for the dog show and to throw out a first pitch.
