Tuesday’s area sports briefs
Pelicans’ playoff tickets on sale
Tickets for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans’ guaranteed home playoff game scheduled for Sept. 10 are now on sale.
Tickets for the single playoff game – which will be Game 2 of the three-game Southern Division Championship Series – range from $9 to $13. Luxury suites and group tickets are also available.
A playoff package – which includes tickets to all six potential home games – is $25 per seat and includes a pregame picnic for the Sept. 10 game, including all-you-can-eat hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, cole slaw, baked beans and cookies.
Having won the First Half title, the Pelicans will have the opportunity to also host Game 1 or Game 3 of the series. Should Myrtle Beach win the Second Half title as well, it will host all three games.
The winner of that series advances to the Mills Cup Championship Series, where it will face the Northern Division Championship Series winner.
