Kameron Misner doubled home a pair, followed by an Osleivis Basabe single to center to score Misner. Jake Mangum knocked a double off the Blue Monster to score Basabe for a 5-0 lead over the Tides (26-39).
From there, Cole Wilcox (W, 2-2) and the Durham pen closed the deal. Wilcox threw six scoreless innings, fanning seven. Alfredo Zarraga, Erasmo Ramirez and Carlos Garcia each threw a shutout inning to lead the Bulls to the .500 mark for the 2024 season at 70-70 with 10 games remaining.
