Salem Absorbs 8-1 Loss to Myrtle Beach
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans cut down the Salem Red Sox by the score of 8-1, with the largest share of the credit going to center fielder Israel Menéndez.

Bob Williams was credited with the save for Myrtle Beach, his 1st of the season.

Clarence Bray contributed to the Myrtle Beach win with a 2-run single in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"We did a lot of things right," said Menéndez.
