MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The Carolina Mudcats pushed across the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth inning on Saturday night to rally past the Myrtle Beach Pelicans 4-3 and claim the series at Pelicans Ballpark.

Later in the frame, Braylon Payne delivered a fly ball to left field which was deep enough to score Dinges from third and give the Mudcats a 4-3 lead.

Myrtle Beach (4-4) would bring the winning run to the plate in the ninth inning after a one-out single by Eriandys Ramon but
Jack Seppings (S, 2) slammed the door shut to preserve the series clinching victory.
