The Ripken Experience will be holding a free MBL baseball clinic for boys and girls, ages 6-16, September 19th.

After a series opener in which the Pelicans scored five and picked up a victory Wednesday, the Potomac Nationals have showcased the reasons behind their second-half resurgence: pitching and defense, the hallmarks of good baseball.

Cody Johnson continued his 2009 home run barrage, but his bat was the only one to show up Tuesday night for the Pelicans.  Starters Cole Rohrbough and Brad Peacock dueled for seven innings, but the Nationals produced six runs in the fourth and eighth in a 6-1 win.

The Pelicans carried a two-run lead and a lot of confidence with their shutdown closer entering for a four-out save in the eighth inning. Brandon Waring and the Frederick Keys didn’t see it that way.

The Surfside Beach Dixie Youth baseball champions arrived home from Mississippi with a police escort and a large crowd to welcome them at the townhall complex.

The Pelicans used a 5-for-5 night from Donell Linares and a late home run to take the series opener with the Lynchburg Hillcats 9-6 at City Stadium.

The Surfside Beach players supported Tammy Gulledge as she battled breast cancer throughout their championship season. Gulledge was told by doctors she is free of cancer, earlier this week.

The Surfside Beach Dixie Youth World Series Champions will be returning home and arriving at the Town Hall Complex within Surfside Beach, 115 North Highway 17 Business Saturday, August 15.

With their backs to the wall in the midst of one of the worst stretches of a roller-coaster 2009 season, the Salem Red Sox responded with a convincing sweep of the Pelicans, and now it’s Myrtle Beach’s turn to face the brink.

When it rains, it pours, and sometimes you run into a monsoon. Game three of a four-game series with for the Pelicans and Salem Red Sox Wednesday night might have felt like a hurricane for the home team.

Hillcats take advantage of four Pelicans errors on the way to a 7-1 win Friday night at BB&T Coastal Field.

With one out in the bottom of the ninth inning and trailing 4-3, Donnie Corsner hit a solo home run to tie the game and Outer Banks brought home a run with the bases loaded to complete the come-from- behind 5-4 victory against the Florence RedWolves in a first-round Petit Cup playoff game, which didn’t end until early Friday morning.

Dylan Owen hasn’t faced much adversity coming up in the minor leagues. Until this year. The former Francis Marion University standout breezed through the New York Mets’ Class A affiliates, racking up numerous honors.

Via a 4-3 loss to the Wilson Tobs on Monday night, the Florence RedWolves lost any chance of winning the Coastal Plain League’s South Division second half championship. And while winning that championship was a team goal, the RedWolves should be more concerned with the way they lost their regular season finale.

Florence’s 22-game winning streak ended early Saturday morning with a 5-2 loss to Irmo-Chapin in the American Legion state tournament being held at Duncan Park Stadium.
