Myrtle Beach Pelicans clinch playoff berth … Cubs High-A affiliate Myrtle Beach versus Red Sox in Southern Division Championship Series
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans will have an opportunity to defend the team’s Carolina League Championship. High-A Myrtle Beach clinched a berth in the 2016 Carolina League Playoffs thanks to the Pelicans’ 2-1 victory over Carolina at Five County Stadium and Winston-Salem’s 2-0 loss to Frederick at NYMEO Field at Harry Grove Stadium on Wednesday night.
This marks the franchise’s sixth consecutive postseason appearance, the longest active streak in the Carolina League, and second straight postseason appearance as the High-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
