Michael Paez has shown he is capable of knocking the ball out of Spirit Communications Park, the former Coastal Carolina baseball standout now a member of the Columbia Fireflies.
On Monday night, Myrtle Beach all-state performer Luke Edwards will see if he can do his share of damage at the ballpark, home of the New York Mets’ Class A affiliate.
With the Fireflies serving as host for this year’s South Atlantic League (SAL) All-Star Game, the two days of festivities leading up to the contest is sure to have a dash of Horry County flavor.
Both Paez and Edwards will take part in Monday night’s South Atlantic League Home Run Derby.
