Norfolk Tides 6, Syracuse Chiefs 5
The Tides overcame a two run deficit to walk one off against the Chiefs. Elih Villanueva had a rough day at the office (15 baserunners in 6.1 innings), but Jorge Rondon was able to shut the door. The recent scrap heap pickup lowered his already minimal ERA to a paltry .79. Offensively, the Tides were paced by their Cuban and Domincan contingents. The Cubans (Dariel Alvarez and Henry Urrutia) hit three solo homers and the Dominicans (Michael Almanzar and Julio Borbon) hit three doubles (yes, I realize Borbon is American, but he grew up in the DR).
