The Bulls play the second game of a brief two-game series at Harbor Park against the Norfolk Tides in the third and final series of an eight-game road trip.

Norfolk - the Baltimore Orioles' top affiliate - is 8-2 over its last 10 games, and enters today with the 2nd-best record in the IL behind Indianapolis (48-32). Tonight's game is the second of five straight between the two teams, as after this two-game set the series shifts to the DBAP for three contests.
