Greenville Drive News Release


Greenville, SC - When the Greenville Drive host the Asheville Tourists this weekend at West End Field for the first three-game series of the season, fans will have an added bonus. Thanks to a suspended game in Asheville on June 11, Drive fans will be treated to a doubleheader on Saturday with first pitch set for 5:05 PM. Those holding tickets for Saturday's game will be able to get into West End Field for both games of the doubleheader and gates will open promptly at 4:05 PM.

The first game, which will be played in its entirety, will be continued from the point at which it was suspended June 11th when the teams met at McCormick Field in Asheville, NC. Asheville will be the home team for the remainder of the game. The Drive and Tourists will resume play in the top of the second inning with the Drive at-bat. Game two of the doubleheader, in which Greenville and Asheville will play seven innings, will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. The Drive will be the home team for the second game.

The ZOO!perstars will also make an appearance Saturday. The ZOO!perstars are a zany, lovable act that has been wowing fans since 1998. Fans will surely be amazed as this crazy combination of animalistic superstars rock West End Field. The ZOO!perstars that will be in attendance Saturday night are Harry Canary, LeBronco James, Clammy Sosa, Tiger Woodschuck, and Shark McGwire.

Friday night will kickoff the weekend's festivities as fans will be able to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display at the conclusion of the game.

Sunday is Father's Day and all fathers in attendance will have the opportunity to play catch on the field with their children prior to the start of the game. If time permits, fathers will have the same opportunity at the conclusion of the game. First pitch is set for 5:05 PM.

Tickets to all Drive home games can be purchased by calling the Drive Ticket Office at (864) 240-4528 or by ordering online at www.GreenvilleDrive.com.
