Tight Tilt Goes to Fireflies, 4-3
Fans of the Columbia Fireflies who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Columbia win over the visiting Charleston RiverDogs, 4-3. George Faint started for the home team against Mike Zizak. Mike Zizak earned accolades for his performance.

Alex Boyd drove in one run for Columbia. The 26-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jose Sanchez. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Boyd told a Columbia Daily News reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."
