The Birds have 14 games left on their first-half schedule while the Indians and Red Sox both have 15. The magic number for the Pelicans to clinch the first-half title and a Carolina League postseason berth has fallen to 11.

'COAST'-ING TO WINS: The Pelicans have had great success in front of the home fans at BB&T Coastal Field. The Birds sport the best home record in the Carolina League with an 18-7 mark. They've won five straight games in Myrtle Beach for the third time this season, including an active streak from May 25-29.

GETTING ABOARD: Ryan Strausborger has reached base in 17 consecutive games, starting on May 19 in Winston-Salem.
