Myrtle Beach Pelicans week in review: Aug. 1-7
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans – after dropping two straight to Frederick – had two walkoff wins during the week and put together a four-game winning streak. Four of the team's six games were decided by two runs or fewer.
Every Pelicans starter went at least six innings during the week, except Jeremy Null, who just missed the mark as he tossed 5 2/3 innings on Friday.
Myrtle Beach infielder Ben Carhart made a big impact in his first game back from a stint on the 7-day disabled list, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs, two runs scored and drew a walk during Friday's win over Frederick.
Meanwhile, Pelicans infielder Chesny Young still leads the Carolina League in batting average with a .329 mark.
Three Pelicans pitchers (Michael Heesch, Jonathan Martinez, Daury Torrez) are currently tied for third in total wins in the Carolina League with eight.
