Columbia Fireflies News Release
COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Columbia Fireflies and Myrtle Beach Pelicans started a contest, but could not finish their game Thursday evening. The two teams did not score and the game was paused with two outs and a runner on second in the top of the sixth.
Tomorrow, the two teams will pick up there at 5:30 pm and play a second, seven inning game after.
The Fireflies and Pelicans were deadlocked in a pitcher's duel prior to a rain delay Thursday evening. Delvin Capellan and DJ Herz both held their opponents hitless through the first four innings of the contest. Juan Carlos Negret earned the first hit of the game with a base knock in the top of the fifth. Columbia stranded the go-ahead run on third in both the fourth and the fifth innings.
Capellan ended up allowing one hit, a double in his season-high five innings on the bump. The game was delayed in the top of the sixth with two outs. Tyler Tolbert had just stolen second for his 12th stolen bag of the season. Jake Means was at the plate for Columbia.
Friday, the Fireflies will use LHP Luis De Avila (2-0, 7.04 ERA) in his first start of the season in game two and southpaw Adam Laskey (0-2, 10.26) gets the nod for the Pelicans.
After two weeks on the road, the Fireflies will return home Tuesday, June 15 to start a six-game set with the Augusta GreenJackets. At that point, Columbia will play 12 games in 13 days at Segra Park that will include two fireworks shows, two t-shirt giveaways and much more. For tickets visit FirefliesTickets.com.
