D.L. Hall limited Gwinnett to just one hit over four innings. The lefty walked two, struck out six and did not allow a run. Hall threw 45 of 78 total pitches for strikes. Fellow pitching prospect Mike Baumann replaced Hall and struck out the side in the fifth but things fell apart in the sixth. Baumann allowed three runs, all earned, via a two-run double and an RBI fielder’s choice. Logan Allen allowed the final run in an inning of work.
Norfolk managed only two hits in the first game. Patrick Dorrian got the Tides on the board with a solo home run and Robert Neustrom finished 0-3.
