Myrtle Beach Pelicans News Release

KINSTON, N.C. - The Down East Wood Ducks took an early lead and never looked back in a 7-0 Wednesday win over the Myrtle Beach Pelicans from Grainger Stadium.

In the bottom of the second inning, Pelicans (1-6) starter Alex Lange (0-2), allowed a run on an infield single to Yonny Hernandez. Lange was ejected after 1.1 innings in the loss. Ryan Kellogg took over and allowed a sacrifice bunt for an RBI from the Woodies' (5-2) Eric Jenkins and a Ryan Dorow two-run double to make it 4-0. All runs were charged to Lange.

The Wood Ducks added on against Kellogg in the bottom of the sixth inning when Melvin Novoa singled home Diosbel Arias, making it 5-0.

Yanio Perez then crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to put the game out of reach at 7-0.

Tyler Phillips (1-0) was brilliant in his start for Down East, allowing just four hits over his seven innings while striking out four and not walking a batter.

Myrtle Beach heads back home next to take on the Fayetteville Woodpeckers in a four-game series on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. The series is the start of a seven-game homestand at TicketReturn.Com Field at Pelicans Ballpark. The Birds will send LHP Bryan Hudson (0-0, 3.60) to the mound against Woodpeckers starter RHP Yohan Ramirez (0-1, 6.00).
