Norfolk scored once in the first and second innings but slumped after that. Gwinnett exploded for five runs in the fourth and the Stripers took the game.
Tyler Nevin drove in Domingo Leyba with a single in the first, and Ryan McKenna drove in J.C. Escarra in the second. Yusniel Diaz and Escarra tallied the teams only other hits.
Zac Lowther allowed five runs on just three hits in four innings. He walked three while striking out five. Ryan Casteel took Lowther for an Earl Weaver special in the fourth. Lowther still appears in need of some seasoning.
