Greenville baseball game moved to Highland Park
GREENVILLE — Greenville’s Lions, who’ve already appeared in 10 baseball games this season, haven’t played at home this season.
And they won’t at least for another week.
The 3-7 Lions, who were scheduled to entertain Highland Park today for their first home game of the 2010 season, have switched sites with the Scots. Scheduled game times are at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. for the junior varsity and varsity contests at Scotland Yard in University Park.
Greenville coach Cody Salyers said because of maintence issues and the wet winter the Lions have only spent two days of practice outside on their field since 2010 workouts began in February. They’ve spent the rest of their practice time inside the Roy Q. Traylor Athletic Complex.
He said the Lions’ field still isn’t ready to play on, hence why the District 10-4A game was moved to Highland Park. The Lions also have a district game scheduled for Friday at Royse City. Their next chance to play at home will be on March 23 against Newman Smith of Carrollton.
The Lions dropped two games in the Lindale tournament last week, falling 16-0 to Paris and also to Fort Worth Trimble Tech. Dylan McEwin of Paris led the Wildcats with a three-run homer and a two-homer homer in the first inning.
Greenville dropped its district opener by a 10-0 margin last week to No. 9 state-ranked Rockwall-Heath. The Lions trailed only 2-0 heading into the fifth inning before giving way to the Hawks.
