Hub City Spartanburgers vs Greenville Drive (Red Sox)
Final: Greenville 7 | Spartanburgers 2
2026 record 0-3 boxscore
Both teams were still searching for their first win coming into this game.
Aidan Curry was the starting pitcher for the Spartanburgers who took the field for the first time as the 'Pastimes'. I can say this for any prospect but it is a really important season for Curry. This was a fantastic first start.
He had 10 whiffs, at least one on a curveball and got a strikeout on a batter chasing a cutter.
Curry's final line: 4 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 7 SO, 68/52 strikes, 10 swing & misses
Bullpen
Josh Sanders: 2 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 2 H, 1 BB, 1 SO
Luke Savage: 1 IP, 3 SO, 14/12 strikes
Paxton Thompson (0-1, 21.60) was charged with the loss. 1.2 IP, 5 R (4 ER), 4 H, 1 BB, 2 SO.
Anthony Susac: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 SO
Paxton Kling went 2-for-3 with a walk, run and a SB.
Arturo Disla hit his first HR of the season.
Up next: Game two of the six game series today. RHP Enrique Segura starts for Hub City. TBD for Greenville. First pitch 5:35 PM CT.
Hickory Crawdads at Kannapolis Cannon Ballers (White Sox)
Final: Crawdads 4 | Cannon Ballers 3
2026 record: 3-1 boxscore
RHP Aneudis Mejia got the start for the Crawdads but due to pitch count (31 pitches), he didn't make it out of the first inning.
His line: 0.2 IP, 3 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 SO
I really need to give a shout-out to the Crawdads bullpen as they combined for 8.1 shutout innings. They walked 4 but struck out twelve.
J.D. McReynolds (1-0) earned the win. His line: 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 SO, 34/22 strikes
