Scouting the Opponent
The Fireflies have now played a pair of series with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans in 2025 and have a 3-9 record in those games. After a last-place finish in the South Division in the first half of the season, Myrtle Beach is making a run in the second half. The Pelicans own a 29-10 record since the midpoint and they have done it by dominating on both sides of the ball with a league-best 210 runs scored and 107 runs against.
Chicago Cubs second rounder Kane Kepley has started his tenure in the Carolina League with a bang. The outfielder is 4-10 with three steals and four runs scored for the Pelicans in his first week. He's batting in front of Carolina League veteran Leonel Espinoza, who's hitting .270 in 93 games with a team-best 54 RBI this season.
On the hill, Ethan Flanagan has led the way. The southpaw is 5-0 with a zany 0.97 ERA in seven starts for the Pelicans-including one complete game shutout. Jostin Florentino is coming off Carolina League Player of the Month honors for July, where he built on an already strong start to the year. Florentino is 3-2 with a 1.86 ERA in 48.1 innings for the Pelicans this season. He has 89 punchouts to pair with a 1.07 WHIP this season.
