The Tides entered Wednesday’s game down 1-0 in a best-of-three-series for the International League Championship. They had to win in order to push it a decisive game three, and that is exactly what they did.
Norfolk got off the mark in the second inning with back-to-back home runs from Coby Mayo and Kyle Stowers to take a 2-0 lead.
