Coincidentally, both hires come from the Greer area.
A few Riverside baseball players texted privately back and forth before Friday’s rubber match with rival Eastside.
“Some of the players texted and said we needed to win this one for Coach Pettit,” said Riverside pitcher Dru Nelson. “It’s his last rivalry game against Eastside.”
Opening day at the ballpark was Saturday for the City of Greer.
Youth baseball players from ages 6-14 gathered at Century Park to kick off the season.

Blue Ridge baseball is rolling into region play on an impressive streak.
The Tigers finished the non-region schedule on a collective 13-game winnings streak between the JV and varsity teams.
Byrnes baseball took two of three games from region favorite Boiling Springs last week, moving to 6-1 in the region and strengthening its grip on first place.
After being run-ruled 10-0 in five innings on Monday, the Rebels bounced back with two straight wins over the Bulldogs—6-3 on Wednesday and 12-3 on Thursday.
The standard is shifting for Byrnes soccer. Head coach Joe Campbell sees it.
The first-year man in charge sees it in his players’ eyes after every win. He sees it in their eyes after heartbreaking losses, too, much like Monday night’s 2-1 defeat to region rival Boiling Springs.
