SALISBURY, MD: The Delmarva Shorebirds (23-41) returned to Perdue Stadium after a two-week road trip and fell to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (25-37) in the series opener, 14-2.
The Pelicans scored first in the second inning when a two-out double by Yahil Melendez gave Myrtle Beach a 1-0 lead.
They extended their lead with two runs in the fourth, as a passed ball and a wild pitch made it 3-0.
The Shorebirds responded in the fifth with a three-run homer by Jose Perez (6), tying the game 3-3.
However, the Pelicans offense capitalized on Delmarva's fielding miscues, scoring four runs on two errors in the sixth to take a 7-3 lead.
Myrtle Beach broke the game open with five runs in the top of the seventh inning, taking their largest lead at 12-3.
Raylin Ramos pushed a run across for Delmarva in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single, but the Shorebirds could not get any closer and fell to Myrtle Beach, 12-4.
Daniel Avitia (1-1) was the winning pitcher in relief, while Michael Caldon (1-1) took the loss for Delmarva.
