After a highly successful return of baseball to Fluor Field this past weekend with the Reedy River Rivalry presented by ScanSource, the Greenville Drive are prepared to host additional amateur baseball games in Downtown Greenville.
Drive General Manager, Eric Jarinko, noted, “While we anxiously await the Drive’s Opening Day scheduled for Tuesday, May 4th in 63 days, we’re excited that Fluor Field will host top quality amateur baseball with a mix of college and high school games over the next two months.”
Fluor Field and Downtown Greenville has been selected as one of three “bubble” sites across the country by the Big Ten Conference, to host games the weekends of March 5th-7th, and 12th-14th. Heading to Fluor Field during the first weekend will be the Michigan State Spartans, Maryland Terrapins, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Illinois Fighting Illini. Joining the Spartans for the second weekend will be the Northwestern Wildcats, Michigan Wolverines, and Purdue Boilermakers.
Craig Brown, Drive Owner & President as well as a prominent Michigan State alumnus, stated, “Fluor Field and Downtown Greenville continues to be a highly sought-after location for collegiate baseball. We’re proud to welcome the Big Ten Conference to the Drive’s home ballpark, and very proud of our staff for developing a plan that is inline with conference protocols.
