Nationals Lose as Pelicans Stage Late Rally
At G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium, the Potomac Nationals and Myrtle Beach Pelicans were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans took Potomac pitcher Alex Azucena's best shot and still were able to claim a win at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium. The final score had Myrtle Beach getting past the Nationals, 4-3. Azucena went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs, striking out 5. The last-place Nationals dropped to 59-72.

Myrtle Beach used the timely hitting of Chris Howard to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pelicans on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Potomac manager Cruz Mares.
