MATCH PREVIEW The Swope Park Rangers (3-10-6, 15 points) will begin a two-game home swing on Saturday night, hosting the ninth-place Charleston Battery (6-4-8, 26 points) in a USL Championship Eastern Conference clash at world-class Children’s Mercy Park. The sides previously met just over a month ago at MUSC Health Stadium in Charleston, scrapping to a 1-1 draw after Charleston’s Romario Piggott and SPR’s Felipe Hernandez traded goals in a scrappy battle that culminated with red cards brandished to Ian Svantesson and Adrian Zendejas during second-half stoppage time. Led by second-year head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Rangers experienced a pair of dissimilar results last week. Hernandez, two-goal Sporting KC loanee Kelyn Rowe and 16-year-old Tyler Freeman struck in a thrilling 4-3 home win over Hartford Athletic last Wednesday, July 17, before SPR crashed back down to earth with a 4-0 defeat at Ottawa Fury last Saturday.
