It is exactly as much of a shellacking as it looks like. Five different Norfolk pitchers combined to hold the Jumbo Shrimp to just three hits in the game, while the Tides got their 11 runs on 10 hits, including a three-run shot by Colton Cowser that opened the scoring in the third inning and a grand slam hit by Josh Lester in the middle of an eight-run fifth inning for Norfolk.
Cowser had a pair of hits in the game, as did top prospect Jackson Holliday, who was batting leadoff. That’s Holliday’s first multi-hit game since the promotion.
