Half of the Tides’ runs were scored on three solo home runs, one each from Coby Mayo, Connor Norby, and Lewin Díaz. Mayo reached base four times in the game with two hits and two walks. He is on fire.
Heston Kjerstad did not join the dinger parade, but he did have had a three-hit game. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Joey Ortiz went 0-for-5.
Starting pitcher Chayce McDermott had a fantastic night, pitching seven innings of two-hit ball. He allowed just one run, which came on a home run. He struck out seven and walked just one.
