Hillcats Stumble, Fall to Pelicans, 11-7
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans cut down the Lynchburg Hillcats by the score of 11-7, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Ron Crotty. Crotty went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Pelicans. Augusto Balderas recorded the save for Myrtle Beach, his 7th of the season. The win moves Myrtle Beach to a record of 11-9.

Myrtle Beach won the game in part because of Bob Fuller. The designated hitter ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pelicans ahead, 3-2. For the game, Fuller had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the Myrtle Beach Daily, Crotty said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
