Traditionally, Myrtle Beach is a tough place for opposing teams to play. In 2008, the Atlanta Braves Advanced-A affiliate led the minors with 89 wins, capping a phenomenal stretch that saw the Pelicans battling for division titles nearly every year. But in six meetings this year, including three this past weekend at BB&T Coastal Field, the Salem Red Sox have completely thrashed the Pelicans. Salem has gone 6-0 against the lowly birds and has won by a grand total of 35 runs. The aggregate score looks more like something you might see from a Virginia Tech nonleague mismatch. In six games, it’s Red Sox 49, Pelicans 14. Without a doubt, the highlight of the most recent weekend on the beach was Saturday evening’s bid for perfection. Behind starter Stolmy Pimentel, the Red Sox held the Pelicans without a single baserunner into the eighth inning. Pimentel, Salem’s 20-year old Opening Day starter in 2010, mixed his powerful fastball, knee-buckling curveball, and his deceptive changeup for six consecutive 1-2-3 innings. The Dominican Republic-native struck out four, while inducing four ground-outs and ten air-outs. Due to pitch count restrictions, he departed after throwing 74 tosses in six innings. Perfection continued in reliever Will Latimer’s first inning of work, as the southpaw from Colorado threw a perfect seventh. But Gerry Rodriguez led off the eighth inning with a double for Myrtle Beach, breaking the stretch of 21 Pelicans retired in succession to open the game. Myrtle Beach managed their only run on the night in the eighth inning, but it was not nearly enough to outscore the offensive explosion from Salem. Though easily overshadowed by the pitching
staff ’s bid for history, the offense erupted for a season-high 19 hits on Saturday night in Salem’s 9-1 win. Four different Red Sox batters mustered three hits apiece. In the series, Salem’s offense tabulated a .336 batting average and scored 20 runs, winning the three games by totals of 8-2, 9-1, and 3-2. Catcher/DH Ryan Lavarnway led the team with seven hits and four RBI in the three games, while right-fielder Alex Hassan belted Salem’s only homer in the series, a two-run blast in the third inning on Saturday. While Pimentel’s perfection was the story of the weekend for the Salem arms, the Sox’ other starters—Alex Wilson and Brock Huntzinger—also pitched very well, earning victories for their efforts. The Salem Red Sox return home Friday, May 21st as part of their “Pink in the Park Weekend” presented by Kroger. The weekend is dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness and funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Giveaways for the first 1,000 fans include a pink Salem Sox T-Shirt on Friday courtesy of Lewis-Gale Medical Center, and a pink Salem Sox recycle bag on Sunday courtesy of Kroger. The Salem Sox players will be wearing pink jerseys on Saturday Night, and fans will be able to bid on each player’s jersey to receive it from the player after the game. The annual pink jersey auction is sponsored by The Back Resort. 100% of the proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The team takes Monday, May 24th off but will return home for a three game home series against the Winston-Salem Dash starting Tuesday, May 25th.
