The Hub City Spartanburgers struck quickly in the bottom of the 1st against the Greenville Drive, capitalizing on their speed and an opponent’s miscue. Julian Brock reached on a fielding error by the shortstop, allowing Keith Jones II and Arturo Disla to score, giving the Spartanburgers a 2-0 lead. On the next pitch, Brock and Casey Cook executed a daring double steal—reminiscent of a play from a few games prior—with Cook (4th steal) swiping home and Brock (2nd steal) taking second, pushing the lead to 3-0.

Balanced Attack at the Plate

The Spartanburgers’ offense was powered by four players—Dylan Dreiling, Keith Jones II, Arturo Disla, and Quincy Scott—each collecting 2 hits.

Gutierrez Delivers Walk-Off Heroics

In the bottom of the 9th, with one out and the score tied 3-3 in the at-bat, Anthony Gutierrez laced a single to score Quincy Scott, securing a thrilling 4-3 walk-off victory. The win marked the Spartanburgers’ second straight and third in their last four games.

Pitching Seals the Deal

Reliever Larson Kindreich (W, 2-0) earned the win with 2 innings of stellar relief, allowing 2 hits and striking out 4. He replaced Aidan Curry (BS, 1), who pitched 3 innings, giving up 3 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, and recording 6 strikeouts.

Game 3 Awaits

Riding the momentum of their walk-off triumph, the Spartanburgers look to keep their hot streak alive in Game 3 of this 6-game series against the Greenville Drive. First pitch is set for 5:35 PM tomorrow, as Hub City aims to further their series lead.
