MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Hedbert Perez broke up a no-hit bid in the eighth with a leadoff single while accounting for the only Carolina Mudcats hit in Sunday's 8-0, series finale loss to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans at Pelicans Ballpark.

Starter Marino Santy and relievers Scarlyn Lebron and Starlyn Pichardo combined on the one-hit shutout for the Pelicans (8-9, 49-34). Santy started and pitched four no-hit frames with four walks and six strikeouts. Lebron (W, 3-0) followed with three no-hit innings with two strikeouts and Pichardo finished it with two scoreless innings, one strikeout and one hit allowed.

The Pelicans first built their lead with two runs in the second before scoring six more in the fourth while running away with Sunday's series finale. The Mudcats (8-9, 41-39) won the opener on Friday night, but went on to lose the next two while losing the series two games to one.

The two-run Myrtle Beach second included a RBI double from Pedro Ramirez and a run-scoring groundout from Miguel Pabon. The six-run fourth started with Carolina starter Will Childers allowing a double and eventually giving up his third run of the game on a wild pitch. Childers (L, 2-2) went on to load the bases in the fourth and was eventually replaced by Jose Chavez with two outs in the inning. Chavez hit a batter to force in a run before balking in another and then allowing a three-run home run to Andy Garriola.

Childers took the loss after allowing six runs on six hits over three and 2/3 innings. He also walked two and struck out two while falling to 2-2 on the season. Chavez allowed three inherited runners to score and allowed two others of his while going through an inning and a 1/3 with two runs, two hits, a walk and a strikeout.

Reliever Jeferson Figueroa eventually took over in the sixth and went on to record three straight perfect innings as he faced the minimum with three strikeouts.
