Winston-Salem Beaten, 7-1, by Myrtle Beach
Willie Johnson, who is tied for 6th in the CAR in quality starts with 5, was locked in. The right-hander led the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to a 7-1 win against the Winston-Salem Dash at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark. The win puts Myrtle Beach at 22-19 this season.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Bob Hansen came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Winston-Salem pitcher António Flores, he hit a 2-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Myrtle Beach on top, 2-1.

"Willie was hitting his spots and everything had life," said Myrtle Beach manager Jose Lobaton.
