John Means made his third rehab appearance during an afternoon start for Norfolk. Means allowed two runs, two hits, struck out three and walked a batter. His fastball averaged around 91 MPH, and he allowed a solo homer in the second inning.
Nolan Hoffman pitched a clean fourth before Bruce Zimmermann worked the final five frames. Zimmermann limited the Railriders to two runs on two hits. He struck out six, walked three, and officially took the loss for the Tides.
The Norfolk offense looked mortal once again without Jackson Holliday. The Tides tallied eight hits but only scored in the fourth inning.
