The Tides scoring four runs in each of two innings wouldn’t have been enough for them to win the game, so it’s a good thing they also scored one run in the third inning. They were out-hit by the Bulls, 14-7, and two different Norfolk pitchers allowed a three-run home run. It was ugly, but it was a win.
Jordan Westburg hit his tenth homer since joining the Tides, a three-run shot that gave them a big boost early on. The home run scored GUNNAR HENDERSON, who was once again playing first base to give him some work there; one wonders if they hope to bring him up and play the two infield corners for the rest of the season.
