The Tides entered the ninth tied at three before doubling their run total in the final frame. Heston Kjerstad got into scoring position with a one-out double, and Billy Cook drove in the go-ahead run with a double of his own. Daniel Johnson added some insurance with a two-run blast. Cook and Johnson tallied three hits apiece in the victory.
Kjerstad generated Norfolk’s first run with a solo shot in the fourth. He finished 3-for-4 with a walk and a pair of runs scored. Jackson Holliday briefly provided the Tides the lead with a two-run drive in the seventh inning.
