Updated September 2nd

The calendar is getting shorter, the games are getting bigger, and the Greenville Drive are right in the middle of the South Atlantic League playoff hunt.

With the final weeks of the 2026 regular season approaching, every game — and every swing, and every pitch — carries a little more weight. The Drive enters the final six games of the regular season trailing the Winston-Salem Dash by 1.5 games for second place in the Southern Division’s second-half standings, putting Greenville within striking distance of a postseason berth.

And this year, second place could be enough.

The Bowling Green Hot Rods captured the Southern Division’s first-half championship and currently sit atop the division again in the second half. Should Bowling Green also win the second-half title, the second-place finisher in the second-half standings would earn the division’s other playoff berth.

That has the Drive firmly in the race — with plenty of baseball still to play.

In a back-and-forth battle Tuesday evening in Bowling Green, the Drive relinquished a 9-4 lead, but eventually won 13-11, thanks to a three-run homer by Yophery Rodriguez in the top of the 9th. Unfortunately for the Drive, Winston-Salem also won, so Greenville did not gain any ground.

Winston-Salem's magic number to secure the South's second playoff spot currently sits at 4 - combination of Dash wins and Drive losses - with 5 games remaining. So it's still anyone's game!

Greenville now closes the regular season with one final test on the road, traveling to Bowling Green for a six-game series against the Hot Rods from September 1st-6th.

Grab a Rallyville, cheer on the Drive, and help Greenville make its push for the postseason. Let’s Rally Towards the Playoffs together with a Rallyville at Fluor Field!
