Local nonprofit rebuilds two homes during Military Appreciation Month
SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – A local nonprofit is teaming up with Lockheed Martin to repair two veteran homes during Military Appreciation Month. Local nonprofit Rebuilding Together Spartanburg has joined forces with Lockheed Martin to provide repairs and modifications for two homes on the same day. Linda, the surviving spouse of an army veteran, had lived in her home for 25 years, and struggles to navigate the house due to a damaged hip. Her home was given a new access ramp, replaced flooring to remove tripping hazards, and repaired the washer and dryer. Charles is an army veteran who has lived in his home along with his wife Loris for many years, and suffer from knee and leg issues that make living in their home difficult. Their home was provided an accessible ramp, walk-in shower, and the house gutters and landscaping were cleaned and updated. The nonprofit stated that the repairs come at no cost for the home owners. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 1.2 million veterans live in poverty and are unable to afford essential home repairs or modifications. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Spartanburgers roll over Winston-Salem
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — The Spartanburgers (26-23) dominated game four against the Winston-Salem Dash (17-32) on Friday night with a 12-2 win. Hub City's offense grooved in full force; five Spartanburgers notched multi-hit games, led by Yeison Morrobel, who bashed his first home run of the season. As a team, the 'Burgers collected 13 hits, which tied a season high. With ample offense and errorless defense behind him, David Davalillo (W, 4-0) glided to his fourth win of the season. The righty struck out six through five frames. Davalillo entered the night with a 0.92 ERA, but Winston-Salem jumped on the Spartanburgers right-hander in the top of the first. Leadoff man Cole McConnell worked a walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch, then scored on an Alec Macarewicz single. The Winston-Salem lead wouldn't last long. Casey Cook singled to start the bottom half of the first against Jake Bockenstedt (L, 1-4). A batter later, Gleider Figuereo blooped a double to left to score Cook and tie the game. Anthony Gutierrez then singled home Figuereo to take the lead. After a couple of scoreless innings, the Spartanburgers piled on in the fourth. Morrobel led off the inning with a solo blast to right, which just snuck over the right field fence into the Spartanburgers' bullpen. After a single from Julian Brock and a walk to Quincy Scott, Hub City added more with a single from Danyer Cueva. Cook and Figuereo picked up RBIs to finish up a four-run inning. After Davalillo polished off his evening with five strong frames, Hub City brought one more across in the bottom of the fifth.
