Mike Zizak was locked in. The right-hander led the Charleston RiverDogs to a 4-3 win against the Rome Braves at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. Zizak yielded 1 run over 5.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 9. His record improves to 6-9. Phil Martel picked up the save for Charleston, his 14th of the year.

Danny Correa had a big 2-run double for the RiverDogs in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Charleston leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Doug Mertz and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 13th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the RiverDogs ahead, 4-1.

"Got a lot of swings and misses today," said Zizak.

Charleston is now 53-77, Rome 66-64.
