The Pelicans got the scoring started in the second. With two outs and no one on, Matt Kennelly singled then Chris Shehan reached on an error by Robby Jacobsen. Samuel Sime knocked Kennelly in for the first run of the day.

The Pelicans struck again off Potomac starter Evan Bronson in the 3rd as Yoel Campusano knocked in Cole Miles. The P-Nats struck back in the third as Mike Burgess hit a flair to left that went off the glove of Sime for an RBI-single to bring Potomac within a run.

The big hit of the game came in the top of the 7th. Leading 3-1, Myrtle Beach loaded the bases with two outs. Mike Kennelly hit the first pitch he saw from Jessee Estrada over the left field wall putting the Pelicans up 7-1. Myrtle Beach added two more in the 9th.
