Rodrygo's Brace Leads Real Madrid to Victory: A Recap and Analysis of Sevilla 1-2 Real Madrid

Myrtle Beach used just five hits to take down the Mudcats in the second game of the series. David Avitia (1-3, HR, 3 RBI) logged his best game in a Birds' uniform with a two-run home run, his first as a professional. Ramirez (1-2, RBI, 2 BB) brought home the winning run on a single in the ninth. Three of the five hits for the Pelicans were extra.

Saturday's win went to Scott Kobos (1-0) after getting the final out of the top of the ninth. Starter Drew Gray tossed three shutout frames with three strikeouts to open the game. Kenyi Perez sacrificed three earned runs, with two coming home in the top of the ninth.

Jadher Areinamo (3-5, HR, 3 RBI) led the Mudcats' lineup with a solo home run and a two-run single. Gregory Barrios (2-4, 2B, RBI) and Tayden Hall (1-3, 2B, RBI, 2 BB) each brought home runs on doubles.

The loss went to Jeison Pena (4-2) after allowing the game-winning hit in the ninth. Starter Logan Henderson tossed five innings and 96 pitches with two earned runs off three hits and a walk while striking out eight.

It was a quiet first two innings until the Pelicans struck first in the bottom of the third. With one out and a runner on, Avitia clubbed a home run over the wall in left to give Myrtle Beach the 2-0 lead.

Carolina would go on to score the next three runs. On the second pitch of the fourth inning, Areinamo hit a solo home run to left for his second of the year.

The Mudcats tied it with another run in the fifth. With a runner on, Hall lined a double to the wall in right to tie it up 2-2.

One more run in the seventh for the visitors would give them their first lead of the game. With one out and a runner on second, Berrios hit a sharp ground ball up the third base line that knocked off the wall to score the run as the Mudcats went up 3-2.

It was a quick response for the Birds as they grabbed the lead back in the bottom half. With the bases loaded and one out, Avitia grounded out to third as Parker Chavers came in to score. Third baseman Luke Adams threw to second for one out, but couldn't turn the double play. Reivaj Garcia followed by hitting a dribbler back to Jesus Rivero on the mound. His throw to first went wild as both runners came in to score and Garcia went to third, putting the Pelicans in front 5-3.

It was a clean top of the ninth inning as Perez retired the first two Mudcats' batters. He would go on to hit a batter and walk the following two to load the bases. As Kobos came in, Areinamo hit a bloop single to shallow center to score two runs and tie the game 5-5.

The Pelicans came back once again in the bottom half. Rafael Morel walked with one out and stole second. Ramirez followed with a line drive up the middle to score Morel for the walk-off single to win 6-5.

Myrtle Beach and Carolina will conclude their series on Sunday night at 6:35 p.m.

Carolina Forest is a nexus for major development. Here are 5 of the biggest ideas.

For much of the past year, some of Horry County’s most passionate debates have taken place inside meeting rooms where the future of Carolina Forest was at hand.

Despite its size and ever increasing economic impact to the region, residents of the sprawling development have little oversight over how it will look in coming years because they lack power to set their own zoning laws and building standards.

As talk of possible incorporation renews, here’s a look at some of the most high profile projects involving Carolina Forest.

Diamond Shores LLC last October withdrew a rezoning request that would have cleared the way for 550 homes and a public park on 172 acres inside the River Oaks Golf Course.

Although developers were ready to widen a portion of River Oaks Drive while adding turning and deceleration lanes, it still wasn’t enough to alleviate concerns over more traffic and the loss of green space.

River Oaks Drive already has 7,000 homes, with more than 4,200 in the pipeline.

County Council member Dennis DiSabato, whose district includes Carolina Forest, publicly said he wouldn’t support the Diamond Shores venture — sealing its fate.

The year began with a 20-acre rezone request for land at the top of Legends Drive, converting it from highway commercial to one that would allow for a mixed-use project expected to include hundreds of apartments and a community activity center.

Vehicles leaving the development would turn onto U.S. Highway 501 off the private Legends Drive and its 51,000 average daily traffic count.

Some motorists already have to wait nearly 10 minutes at a traffic light controlling highway access during peak commute times.

County council member Michael Masciarelli was able to get a deferment from the developers, meaning the proposal is tabled indefinitely — but it’s certainly not dead.

In June 2018, voters rejected creating a special tax district that would have paid for improvements along Legends Drive. At the time, it would have meant $214 more annually on a $200,000 home.

The development group is offering Horry County $250,000 to be exempted from any future special tax district.

In March, well-known local engineering firm Thomas & Hutton went public with its plan to build 1,154 houses on nearly 127 acres off Postal Way and U.S. Highway 501.

An additional 48 acres would be set aside for commercial use under the proposal.

In a location where schools are already at or above capacity and daily trips average 10,000, the notion of a major subdivision was too much for many to handle.

“We’re not happy about it,” said Carole vanSickler, president of the Carolina Forest Civic Association, said in March. “I’m not sure that we can handle the added traffic.”

Touted as Carolina Forest’s version of Market Common, a 129-acre parcel would go from undeveloped commercial land into a planned mixed-use development called The Waters.

That brings the possibility of mobile food trucks and a farmers market along with the 1,154 homes.

As part of the deal, project managers would make $1.7 million worth of infrastructure and road upgrades to support the additional population, including adding a third lane to Postal Way and building two roundabouts within the subdivision.

The road upgrades, including modified pedestrian access, two roundabouts and expanding Postal Way to three lines, would take place between summer 2024 and spring 2028 as part of the development deal.

County leaders in May approved a 90-day deferment on the plan - meaning it could heat up again come August.

If Conway Medical Center isn’t able to move forward with plans to build a 50-bed hospital in the heart of Carolina Forest, a sprawling residential development of 3,000 homes could take its place, county and company officials say.

Before construction can begin on the roughly $160 million facility, the county council needs to approve rezoning 353 acres along International Drive allowing the hospital to secure state and federal permits. A third and final reading has yet to be scheduled.

Conway Medical Center in November 2020 cleared a major hurdle after state regulators approved a conceptual plan for the Carolina Forest site.

But opposition has mounted from conservation groups and the state’s wildlife agency, who say the proposed hospital interferes with prescribed burning within the Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve.

The 10,000-acre preserve, located west of Myrtle Beach and accessible via International Drive, is home to globally and federally endangered plant and animal species. That includes the Venus flytrap, which is found in just 18 counties across the Carolinas.

The hospital, when it’s complete, also would have a much lower traffic impact than housing, county officials said.

As part of a 2021 development agreement inked between Conway Medical Center and the county, a large portion of unused land will be sent back to Horry County for preservation.

According to traffic analyses, Conway Medical Center’s hospital would add 4,260 more average daily trips to International Drive, compared to the trips that clustered housing would carry: 10,174 to 16,160.

One of the most heavily attended County Council meetings in recent history took place last month, where dozens of blue T-shirt clad Grand Strand Humane Society supporters hoped leaders would OK a rezone for three acres on River Oaks Drive.

Instead, the Humane Society pulled its application at the last minute on DiSabato’s suggestion after officials learned the council was poised to vote down their request.

Opponents said the proposed location threatened to drag down residential property values and disrupt the quality of life in two neighborhoods with homes priced into the mid six figures.

The Grand Strand Humane Society opened in 1972 and expanded in 2001 along Mr. Joe White Avenue. Currently, the Humane Society has space for 73 dogs and 113 cats.

During a recent visit by The Sun News, more than 90 dogs were on site.

That’s because officials last year inked a two-year lease with Tanger Outlets to house its cats for adoption. More than 300 are there now.

DiSabato met informally with opponents of the rezoning following the council meeting, saying he plans to work with both sides to forge a compromise. Myrtle Beach Life Find things to do in the Myrtle Beach area. “I cannot talk publicly about other places where this may go, but there are other viable alternatives that are close by, and my plan is to work to find them a viable location that’s not going to cost them,” he said after the June 20 meeting. “I am not opposed to the Humane Society.”

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — He’s a staple at Myrtle Beach Pelicans games, always getting the loudest cheers from the crowd when he heads for home plate.

You’ll never see him hit a home run, but Slider, the Pelicans’ beloved, specially trained bat dog, does enjoy being on the field, running the bases, and especially, retrieving bats left at home plate by the team’s players.

In fact, Slider, a labrador retriever, is known as the hardest-working canine in all of Minor League baseball and is a big part of the fan experience at Pelicans Ballpark.

He trains hard for his job. Just like the players, who learned about hitting, fielding and throwing at a young age, Slider had to start at the beginning. Now, he has four handlers and trains every day.

“You have to start with that basic obedience,” said Joyell Leonard, one of Slider’s trainers from Off Leash K9 Training of Myrtle Beach. “When you ask him to come, that’s basically what you’re asking him when you ask him to fetch. You’re asking him to bring that bat to you. That, in essence, is a ‘come.’ If you don’t start there, you can’t build on that task that he needs to work on.”

Slider has learned some specialized skills, but that basic training will always continue, which is why he works a 9-to-5 shift, just like the rest of us.

“[We work on] how to initiate commands with him, how to hold him accountable for those actions, and we work with game scenarios with him,” Leonard said.

The Pelicans recruited Slider when he was just 1-year-old. It takes a special canine to put in the long hours and have the temperament to do what his trainers need him to do in those special innings that Pelicans’ fans have come to love.

“That job entails being able to walk about the crowd and not lose it, not to get super excited when a kid drops a hot dog,” Leonard said. “His job primarily is to go pick up the bat. He also does pictures during one of the innings with all of the fans, so he has to be able to handle being around lots of people and walking through the crowds.

Slider’s specialized training includes fetching the players’ bats using the hold command, “which is putting the bag in his mount and making him hold it and asking him to drop,” Leonard said. “With Slider, we use the command ‘out.”

One of the things Slider’s trainers are continuing to work on is the proper positioning for holding the bat. They noticed that he had started holding the end of the bat because of the weight of the players’ bats, so they needed to retrain him to grab it in the middle.

“So because of where he was grabbing the bat, it’s a touch bit heavier,” Leonard said. “So that’s why we’re really trying to put it more in the center, so it’ll be a little bit more balanced like that.”

It’s a lot of work, but Slider, like most labrador retrievers, is eager to get after it every morning.

“It gives them a purpose,” Leonard said of labrador retrievers. “It gives them something that they’re working on. Labs are retriever dogs, so they are a work dog.”

Slider, though, is no stranger to a little fun on the side.

“He loves people,” Leonard said. “When people come to do pictures with him, he’s very chill. He loves people.

The selection process is very difficult, Leonard said.

“A very high-string, excitable dog cannot handle being around [the] large groupings of people that [the] Myrtle Beach Pelicans bring to their ballpark,” she said.

Leonard said it’s important to have a good balance between being around people and working at the same time. And, just like the players, it’s important for Slider to stay in shape.

“They can down a bag of dog food in a heartbeat,” Leonard said of retrievers. “So you really have to monitor their food intake. So, he had put on a little bit of weight, so we need to trim him up a little.”
