Drive Fall Short in Wild Finale, Drop Series to Spartanburgers
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Greenville Drive (60-60) were one swing away from salvaging the finale of a grueling six-game set, but late-inning miscues and clutch hitting by Hub City proved too much in a heartbreaking 9-8 loss to the Spartanburgers (59-60) on Sunday afternoon at Fifth Third Park.
The loss gave Hub City a 4-2 edge in the series and dropped Greenville into a tie with Bowling Green for second place in the South Division Second Half Standings. The Drive will return home after two weeks on the road for a pivotal six-game set with Bowling Green beginning August 26th—six of their final 12 games of the regular season.
Fast Start, Shaky Middle…
