MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The Down East Wood Ducks shutout the Myrtle Beach Pelicans 1-0 in the series opener from TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark.
After Pelicans (20-44) starter Erich Uelmen (1-2) retired the first seven men that he faced, the Wood Ducks (48-19) got to the righty in the fourth inning.
Julio Pablo Martinez gave the Wood Ducks (48-19) a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth when he chopped an infield single down the first base line that plated Leody Taveras for the games first run.
Uelmen settled in after that and delivered six, strong innings allowing just the one run on four hits before exiting the contest. Sal Mendez (3-0) was nearly unhittable tonight for the Woodies. The southpaw fired six, shutout innings and allowed just a pair of hits to earn the win for Down East.
The Pelicans (20-44) brought the go ahead run to the plate in the ninth, but Joe Kuzia locked down the save for the Wood Ducks to seal the Birds' second-straight 1-0 loss.
