Pelicans on Verge of Winning First Half

With only 14 games left in the first half of the season, Pensacola is in the driver's seat. With this current winning streak (at 12 games), going from last (5-12) to first (20-14) in two weeks, the Pelicans have a game and a half lead in the East Division and are knocking on the play-off door.

The Central Baseball League is split into two halves, 48 games in each. The winner of the first half is guaranteed a spot in the play-offs at the conclusion of the regular season. Winners of the first half in each division will be the first half champions of either the East or West Division of the Central Baseball League. That is why this current run by the Pelicans is so important. All games are important but by winning the first half championship, your Pelicans would be guaranteed a spot at the end of the regular season to play for the Central Baseball League Championship.

The play-off system works to narrow down the league to a one team champion. The winner of the first half would play the winner of the second half in the first round of the play-offs in both the East and West Division of the Central Baseball League. If the same team wins both halves, they would then play the second place finisher of the second half in their division of the Central Baseball League.

Pelicans 2nd Annual Wing-Off

Come ready to eat some wings and vote for the best wings in town. On Saturday, June 12, Pelican Park will host the 2nd Annual Wing-Off after the first game of the doubleheader.

The Pelicans were good enough on the field to get the fans in the mood for a good time early. They scored 3 runs in the first and would stay in the lead the rest of the game.

Pensacola pounded out 14 hits over the night led by CF Rafael Alvarez who went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI for the Pelicans, while SS Joe Espada and RF Josey Shannon each had three hits.
