Blue Rocks 8-4 Winners Over Myrtle Beach
Spirited fans greeted the Myrtle Beach Pelicans for their clash with the Wilmington Blue Rocks.

Myrtle Beach got a terrific game from designated hitter Jeff Markakis. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Wilmington, 8-4. Markakis was 2 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Johnathan Lowrance earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. Joe Wright was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 3 save opportunities.

Wilmington took the lead, 7-4, on Greg Lópes's 11th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Myrtle Beach pitcher Bob Williams in the top of the seventh.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Lópes.

The win lifted the Wilmington record to 49-45.
