It’s a walkoff walk! Joey Ortiz’s free pass with the bases loaded in the 10th pushed the Tides to a perfect 3-0 in the second half. With the winning run at third in the 10th, the Knights elected to intentionally walk two batters to load the bases for Ortiz, which did not turn out well for them. Ortiz reached base four times in the game, with two doubles and two walks. He’s hitting .345 with a .991 OPS at Triple-A, and I can’t help wondering why he never got to play when he was on the Orioles.
The Tides were on base all night, collecting 10 hits and walking 10 times.
