Late Rally Lifts Myrtle Beach Past Mudcats

Carolina Mudcats News Release
ZEBULON, NC - The Myrtle Beach Pelicans scored six runs in the seventh inning to down the Carolina Mudcats and earn a split of the six-game series with a 8-7 victory on Sunday afternoon at Five County Stadium.
Myrtle Beach (19-25), scored those six runs in the seventh inning on just three hits, as Carolina (26-17) aided the cause with three walks and a hit batter in the frame. However the big blow of the innings was a Christian Olivo single to plate what turned out to be a big insurance run and give the Pelicans an 8-5 lead.
The Mudcats built a 5-2 lead thanks to a big second inning when they scored three times on a Juan Baez home run and RBI knocks from Yhoswar Garcia and Reece Walling.
Carolina would claw back in the eighth when Walling scored on a wild pitch and in the ninth, the Mudcats pulled to within a run on Luis Castillo's second home run of the game but it was not enough as Shane Marshall (S, 3) closed the door to earn the victory.
The Mudcats continue this 12-game homestand on Tuesday night as they welcome the Delmarva Shorebirds to Five County Stadium for a six-game series. First pitch of the series is set for 6:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased by going to CarolinaMudcats.com or calling 919-269-2287.
