Pelicans Victors, 5-2, at Salem
Myrtle Beach and Salem duked it out and the Pelicans came out victorious.

Pelicans second baseman Arend Kooiman put his stamp on his team's 5-2 win over the Salem Red Sox. Kooiman was 2-3 with a double and a walk. He scored 3 runs for Myrtle Beach in the contest. Dax Foster was the winner. He's now 1-1. The loser was Ben Ballard. Augusto Balderas wrapped it up, recording his 3rd save.

Israel Menéndez had a big run-scoring triple for the Pelicans in the top of the fourth inning. With Myrtle Beach leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Ben Ballard and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pelicans ahead, 2-0.

"We've hit a lull," said Salem manager Jose Nieves.

The loss drops Salem to 2-6.
