Greenville Drive News Release
Savannah, GA - The Greenville Drive and Savannah Sand Gnats were suspended by unplayable field conditions at Historic Grayson Stadium, created by heavy rain Saturday night in the series finale between the two teams.

Greenville scored in the top of the fourth when Brandon Jacobs singled, went to second on an error, stole third and scored on Drew
Hedman's groundout.
Starting pitcher Scott
