The three best prospects in the Tides’ lineup — Joey Ortiz (#7 prospect), Connor Norby (#9), and César Prieto (#23 tied) — led the charge for the Norfolk victory. Prieto and Ortiz each went 3-for-5 with an RBI, including Prieto’s second homer and Ortiz’s 16th double, and Ortiz also added a pair of stolen bases. It was Norby who delivered the decisive blow, a tiebreaking three-run homer in the top of the seventh. With his 10th blast, Norby is inching closer to an .800 OPS for the season (.791). The recently demoted Ryan McKenna swatted a home run as well.
