Norfolk Tides 1, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2
Xavier led off the game with a home run and it was all a down hill from there for the Tides. The offense, such as it was, went 0-6 with runners in scoring position. Dariel Alvarez also stole two bases. Odrisamer Despaigne and Pedro Beato held the Rail Riders scoreless through six innings, but the usually reliable Jason Stoffel gave the game away in the eighth. Tides manager Ron Johnson was tossed at the start of the bottom of the 8th.
