In recent Orioles minor league updates, there have been two common themes. Dariel Alvarez has been a boss for Norfolk and Trey Mancini has been a boss for Bowie. Those continued on Friday.
Norfolk Tides 4, Charlotte (White Sox) 3 (doubleheader - 9 innings)
A minor league doubleheader is only SUPPOSED to play for seven innings per game, but of course if you need extras, things can still go the usual number of innings, as this one did. Things stayed knotted until the bottom of the ninth, when the Tides got the bases loaded with only one out and Dariel Alvarez at the plate.
