A Pelicans offense that ranks last in the Carolina League in average handed previously-unbeaten Winston-Salem Dash starter Charlie Shirek his first loss of the season 6-5 in front of 1,915 fans at BB&T Coastal Field on Tuesday.

Steady pitching and timely hitting were key for the Pelicans’ second straight win Monday night at Wake Forest Baseball Park in Winston-Salem, NC.  Pelican starter Edgar Osuna (3-3) allowed only three hits and just one run over his seven innings to claim his third win of the season.

Monday night it was Lynchburg Hillcat starter Chih-Hung Cheng who stifled the Pelicans bats as Myrtle Beach got blanked for the second straight night.

Atlanta Brave catcher Brian McCann’s trip back to Myrtle Beach was not a success.  McCann is on the disabled list because of discomfort in his left eye.  He spent two games playing for the Pelicans and trying to figure it out, but he still leaves the Beach with questions.

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans made a living in their recent road trip to visit the Salem Red Sox by getting just enough offense to back up solid pitching efforts.  In Monday night’s series opener of a three-game set with the Lynchburg Hillcats, the Pelicans fell victim to those same traits in a 4-3 loss.

Both starters were outstanding in the second game of a four-game series at Salem Memorial Ballpark tonight in Salem, VA. Edgar Osuna (1-2) and Dave McKae (0-1) traded zeros for the first four innings seemingly matching each other pitch for pitch before the Pelicans finally broke through in the fifth.

The hits came early and often for the Kinston Indians, and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans couldn’t keep up in a 13-3 series-opening Pelicans loss.

Jerome Bettis is used to getting mobbed where he goes in Pennsylvania.  The running back was the face of the Steeler franchise for the better part of a decade.

The general manager of one local business says they have the best bargain for your buck.  You get to be outside, there’s food and entertainment, then throw in some athletics and you’ve got yourself a ball game.

Minor league baseball club plans variety of theme nights, group nights and special events.

The Potomac Nationals built upon the momentum gained from a miraculous game three win as they dominated the Pelicans in game four by a final score of 8-2 to claim the Mills Cup Championship. 

There was no celebration in the Potomac Nationals locker room on Tuesday night. But instead of pouting after losing game two of the Mills Cup series 6-4 to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, there was a moment reserved to look ahead, even after Potomac’s comeback bid fell short.

The Pelicans suffered their worst loss in one of their most important games of the season.  Potomac dominated the Pelicans in game one of the Mills Cup Championship series en route to a 15-0 drubbing at BB&T Coastal Field.
