Durham Bulls News Release
DURHAM, NC - Kean Wong capped a three-run rally with a game-winning RBI in the seventh inning, sending the Durham Bulls to a 4-3 win over the Norfolk Tides Thursday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Norfolk grabbed the lead on a first-inning solo home run by Joey Rickard and tacked on two more in the fifth inning, extending its lead to 3-1.
Durham rallied in the seventh, after Tides' starter Yefry Ramirez retired back-to-back batters to begin the frame. Brandon Snyder singled, and later in the frame Andrew Velazquez plated Snyder with a single to center field cutting the deficit to 3-2.
The comeback continued with an infield single by Adam Moore, tying the game with Joe McCarthy touching home plate. Kean Wong drove in the go-ahead run with a single into right, and the Bulls took their first lead of the game 4-3.
Adam Kolarek (W, 2-0) was solid in relief of starter Ryan Weber, tossing 3.0 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, earning his second win of the season.
McCarthy homered in the second inning to give the home side its first run of the game, and finished the evening 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored. Wong and Velazquez each tallied two-hit nights, as the Bulls earned a 3-1 series win over Norfolk, and finished their eight-game homestand with a 6-2 mark.
The Bulls (19-13) hit the road to face the Charlotte Knights (14-19) Friday night at BB&T Ballpark for the first of a three-game set. Chih-Wei Hu (0-2, 3.86) is scheduled to start against Michael Kopech (0-1, 3.00) with first pitch scheduled for 7:04 p.m.
