Charleston SC – With Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson in the dugout, Austin Krum blasted a leadoff walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Charleston RiverDogs to a 6-5 victory over the Asheville Tourists in South Atlantic League action Wednesday night in front of 2,592 fans at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

With the victory, the RiverDogs have taken the first two games from the first-half Southern Division champion-Tourists, after having won Tuesday night behind the pitching of the rehabbing Carl Pavano and Phil Hughes of the parent New York Yankees.

Jackson is part of the Yankees contingent that is in Charleston for the week.

Charleston improves to 18-19 since the All-Star break and 63-44 overall while Asheville slips to 22-17 in the second half and 68-41 overall.
