If the Preston Morrison of the regular season shows up tonight, the Pelicans will have a good shot at winning their 2nd consecutive Carolina League championship. If they do, they'd would have done nothing but win it all since the Cubs came to town.

 

Let's make it 2-for-2 in organizational championships tonight. And then, of course, 3-for-3 later on...

Myrtle scores 3 in the 7th to take a 5-3 lead. Eloy K'd with runners 2nd/3rd-no-outs-tied, but they got two after than anyway. had bases loaded one out, chance to score more, but DP ended threat.

 

Pugliese pitching on into his 4th inning.

 

Torrez and McNeil should both be available, I think, having last pitched 4 and 3 days ago.

McNeil in to close it out...

McNeil in to close it out...

McNeil's been very solid converting 22 of his last 23 save opportunities. And he was again tonight! Pelicans win it! That's 2 years in a row for Myrtle Beach, and 2 minor league championships for the Cubs organization in 2016!

Wow, MB won 38 of their last 49 games to win it.

That makes this the last minor league game thread of the year.

We would be complaining about 38 of Daytona's last 49 games getting rained out if we were still there.

Good stuff. All three of those teams at the lower levels had really great seasons.
