It was a bad night for Tides’ hitters. They tallied just two hits, a single from number nine hitter Greg Cullen and a solo home run by Brett Phillips. Phillips, subject of many recent arguments in Birdland, also struck out three times. The team did pick up five walks, including one apiece from Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg.
Drew Rom made the start and had a solid but not remarkable outing. He gave up just one run when a runner on third with two outs scored on a wild pitch. He completed five innings with four hits and two walks allowed.
