The Tides scored two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game and send it to extras, but once there, the Tides couldn’t score their free runner and the Bats did to walk this thing off.
This was a good game for former Yankees farmhand Mason Williams, now in the Norfolk outfield. He hit two home runs in the game, including the game-tying ninth inning dinger, and he drew a walk besides. Ryan Mountcastle added a pair of hits, including a double, to raise his season OPS to .787. Recently-demoted Cedric Mullins was 1-4 with a walk out of the leadoff spot.
