The good news out of Norfolk on Tuesday was that Jackson Holliday reached base twice in his Triple-A debut. The bad news was it wasn’t nearly enough to get the Tides a win against the Jumbo Shrimp.
Batting leadoff, Holliday grounded out to short in the bottom of the first and then flew out to center in his next AB. His second and third plate appearances went much better: the No.1 prospect in baseball worked a one out walk in the bottom of the 5th and then collected his first Triple-A hit in the 7th, dumping a hit into RF and then hustling into second for a double.
