After Saturday’s 21-run donnybrook (hat tip, always to Mark Brown for teaching me that word), the Tides felt like playing a more normal game on Sunday.
Very different contests, same result: a win for the Tides, who moved to 7-1 and continue to give every reason to think this Orioles farm system is No. 1 in baseball, as most writers have it.
DL Hall’s outing was the biggest storyline here. Delayed in his progress this spring by a lower back injury and sent by the big-league club to Norfolk to keep seasoning his starter arsenal, Hall’s progress is being keenly monitored.
