In a makeup of Friday’s rainout, a couple of left-handed starters with ample big league experience — Bruce Zimmermann for the Tides and Nick Margevicius for the Stripers — made effective starts, each going five innings and giving up one run (Zimmermann’s was unearned due to a Joey Ortiz error that plated a runner from second). The Tides managed five hits, but none were from the big prospects; Ortiz, Coby Mayo, and Heston Kjerstad were each 0-for-3. Daz Cameron drove in Norfolk’s lone run with a second-inning sac fly.
Gwinnett won on a walkoff homer in the seventh (remember, doubleheader games are still seven innings in the minors), with Luke Williams going yard against erstwhile O’s reliever Joey Krehbiel.
