PBR of North Carolina and South Carolina came together on Tuesday June 21, 2022 to run the NC/SC Border Battle at Mariam Hayes Stadium on the campus of UNC Charlotte. The event featured 100 of the top players in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 classes representing each state.
The day started with the position player workout. Players were able to go through Switft Athletic testing, live BP, and then a defensive workout. Following the morning session, three games featured players from each state facing off in controlled scrimmages with pitchers throwing live to hitters.
