Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery's 2010 USL2 schedule has been set with the Battery playing a 20 game regular season April 17 through August 14. Charleston's home opener is versus the Pittsburgh Riverhounds on Saturday, April 24 and marks the return to Blackbaud Stadium of former Battery midfielder Justin Evans who recently took over as head coach of Pittsburgh.
