Myrtle Beach started the scoring in the bottom of the first. Ty Southisene singled and then moved to third when Alexey Lumpuy reached on a fielding error. After Lumpuy swiped second, Josiah Hartshorn drew a walk. The next batter Michael Carico hit a sacrifice fly that scored Southisene to give the Pelicans a 1-0 lead. Logan Poteet mirrored what Carico did by also hitting a sacrifice fly which brought home Lumpuy to make the lead 2-0. Then Jose Escobar (1) jacked a two-run home run to give the Birds a 4-0 advantage.
