Wednesday night was a special one at the ballpark for Blue Ridge. The Tigers celebrated Cancer Awareness Night during their game against Rabun Gap.

A special guest had the honor of throwing out the first pitch.

During Byrnes Lady Rebel lacrosse’s 21-7 win over Boiling Springs on March 12, Sami Workman and Addison Moody were honored for scoring their 100th career goals.

Cole Bellinger didn’t want to come out of the game. He wasn’t shy about making that known, either.

Headed to the top of the seventh inning at Fluor Field in downtown Greenville, Greer held a 3-0 lead over Wade Hampton. Bellinger was dealing, having thrown six innings of four-hit ball with seven strikeouts.

Alex Kiniry called his shot.

After Kiniry sent a fastball 360 feet to dead center—caught for an out just short of the wall—in the fifth inning against Rabun Gap, he knew he’d get all of the next one. He returned to the dugout and made the promise.
