USC Sumter Athletic Facilities
Riley Park - Fire Ant Baseball
Riley Park opened in 1934 and has hosted everything from high school and American Legion baseball to professional minor league baseball in its history.
The Sumter Braves used Riley Park from the mid- to late-1980s. Players like Tom Glavine, David Justice, Ryan Klesko, Ron Gant, Mark Lemke and Jeff Blauser have all been in the dugout at Riley Park. Followed by the Sumter Flyers.
Newly-renovated, Riley Park is a 2,000-seat professional-quality stadium offering concessions and ample spectator space.
The CIty of Sumter has been kind enough to allow the Fire Ants to use Riley Park as their home field since 2006.
The Fire Ant baseball practice facility is located on the USC Sumter Campus on Theater Drive.
