ORLANDO, Fla.— Orlando City SC (10-2-2, 32 points) begins the month of July on the road, traveling to play the Wilmington Hammerheads (5-8-2, 17 points) on July 3 then the Charleston Battery (7-3-5, 26 points) on July 5. Both matches are set for kickoff at 7:30 p.m. EST and will be streamed on USLNation.com.

The two-game road trip starts on Wednesday against the Wilmington Hammerheads.

After the Wilmington match, Orlando travels South to square off against 2012 USL PRO Postseason Champion Charleston Battery on Friday.
