A day after suffering a tough loss to Gwinnett, the Tides piled early and loudly onto Stripers starter Touki Toussaint, scoring five in the second inning to drive him from the game. Rylan Bannon drove in three with a bases-clearing double. Then catcher Jacob Nottingham stole second and came around to score on a Richie Martin double (2-for-4 on the day). Nottingham added his own RBI in the fourth, blasting a solo home run, which undoubtedly helped his 1.108 OPS. In the eighth, Norfolk scored a couple more when Gwinnett’s Michael Tonkin lost the strike zone, walking in a run and allowing one more to score on a Bannon forceout.
