Former CCU baseball star, Myrtle Beach standout set to take aim in SAL home run derby

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.
