The Hub City Spartanburgers, a Minor League Baseball team, have brought baseball back to Spartanburg, and some Chapman students are working with the organization.

Senior Jami Moss works in guest services.

“(It consists) of a bunch of different roles, some being an usher, ticket taker and kids zone worker,” she said.

Moss, who wants to pursue a career in communications, said that getting the job was simple.

“When I decided that a communications career was for me, I started looking into the guest services role to get involved,” Moss said. “The process was not hard at all; I only had to apply for the position and had a job a few days later.”

Junior Rhylea Neves is an usher and ticket scanner, and like Moss, she found the job process to be easy.

“I needed a job, and saw that it was their first year opening,” she said. “I thought it would be a fun job, so I applied online and was then set up with an interview a few days later.”

Like others, sophomore Declan Shensky provides help for those at the game. Unlike the others, however, he provides help for a different group: the players.

Shensky is a batboy.

“My best experience so far is being involved in gamedays and interacting with fans,” Shensky said. “I have been grateful for this opportunity and am glad I put myself out there and applied.”

Neves said she enjoys the sense of community involved with the Spartanburgers.

“My favorite experience was opening day,” Neves said. “It was great seeing the community super excited and being brought together.”
