MU IN THE MINORS
♦ Myrtle Beach gets another extra inning win (Myrtle Beach Online)
Brett Nicholas drove in Christian Villanueva on a double in the bottom of the 10th inning as Myrtle Beach knocked off Lynchburg 2-1 at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark.”
“Big at-bat by Nick,” Pelicans manager Jason Wood said. “He struggled a little bit tonight with some of his appearances at the plate but he’s a clutch hitter in a clutch situation and he’s a great guy to have up there. Good to see him to get out front and put a really good swing on a really good fastball.”
Pelicans starter Nick Tepesch has been impressive in his recent starts, and he proved that with another stellar outing. Tepesch lasted eight innings, gave up one run on five hits and no walks and struck out eight but didn’t factor in the decision.
“Tepesch is a workhorse like he has been lately and he proved it again tonight,” Wood said. “He’s just competing, making good pitches and getting ahead in the count. He’s working his tail off and he did a great job. I can’t say enough about the outstanding job he’s done lately and he has a bright future.
