The Greenville Drive returned to Fluor Field on Tuesday, June 15, to take on the Hickory Crawdads, the High-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, for six straight games of fun entertainment.

Make plans to join the Drive at Fluor Field this week as the team celebrates the downtown community, recognize and thank school system teachers and staff, celebrate Dad on Father’s Day, and much more!

The homestand kicked off on Tuesday, June 15, with the Drive’s only week-day, day-game of the 2021 season. Tuesday marked the 10th Anniversary of the Drive’s annual Drive Business Downtown event, proudly presented by long-time Drive partner Elliott Davis.

On Wednesday June 16, with first pitch set for 7:05, the Drive will recognize & thank all the teachers and employees from Greenville County School system on completing an incredibly challenging but successful school year.
