The bus carrying USC Aiken's baseball team back from a weekend series at North Georgia caught fire and burned near Greensboro, Ga., Sunday night, destroying much of the equipment and personal belongs onboard.

Here is the post on USC Aiken Athletics Facebook page

"Traveling back from the baseball game from North Georgia, the bus chartered by the USC Aiken Pacer baseball team caught fire. All players, coaches and contracted transportation personnel made it safely out of the bus.

"The team, coaches and additional personnel are on their way back to Aiken. The university is grateful for the swift action of the contracted bus driver and the fire department in Greensboro, GA.

"Their quick response ensured a safe evacuation of everyone, without any injuries.

"The cause of the fire is under investigation."
