In the resumption of the youth baseball game interrupted by gunfire at North Charleston’s Pepperhill Park last week, the North Charleston Recreation Angels took down the Royals by an 8-2 score at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park on Tuesday evening. The teams played two innings prior to the start of the Charleston RiverDogs-Fayetteville Woodpeckers Carolina League contest.
The teams arrived at the park at approximately 4:30 pm and warmed up on the field while interacting with members of both teams. The game began at 5 pm and lasted for one hour as baseball fans from the community cheered them on. Members of the 15U softball team that was practicing in the park during the incident were also in attendance.
Following the contest, the teams enjoyed a picnic in Murray’s Mezzanine courtesy of Major League Baseball, Senator Tim Scott, and the RiverDogs. Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. sent a video message that was played on the video board at The Joe. In addition, Whit Merrifield of the Kansas City Royals, participated in a Zoom call with members of the three teams. The Tampa Bay Rays, MLB affiliate of the RiverDogs, sent hats for the children.
