Whatever the opposite of a nailbiter is, that was this game. Norfolk scored four runs in the second inning, one in the sixth and five in the seventh. They did it without a home run but put up a solid 11 hits and eight walks.
Tides hitters spread the love, as well as the RBIs. Jordan Westburg (1-for-4, BB) hit a two-run single ahead of a two-run triple by Joey Ortiz (1-for-3, 2 BB). Ramon Rodriguez hit a pair of RBI singles and had himself a 3-for-4 day. Robert Neustrom (3-for-5) and Cadyn Grenier both hit two-run doubles.
