June 18, 2022 - International League (IL)
Norfolk Tides News Release
NORFOLK, Va. --- The Norfolk Tides (31-34) lost to the Syracuse Mets (25-39), 13-8, in 10 innings on Saturday night at Harbor Park. That clinches a series loss for the Tides, who have lost six of their last eight.
The Tides scored in the bottom of the first when Shed Long Jr. walked with the bases loaded. Norfolk couldn't score more than that and Syracuse answered with two runs in the top of the second. Nick Dini recorded an RBI groundout to tie the game, followed by a sac fly by Nick Meyer to put the Mets up, 2-1.
Three runs crossed for the Tides in the bottom of the second to retake the lead. With runners on second and third, Kyle Stowers blooped a two-run single to center field. He later scored on the bases due to an error by Dominic Smith, giving Norfolk the, 4-2, lead.
Syracuse would retake the lead themselves in the top of the fourth. Meyer hit a two-run double to tie the game. Cody Bohanek would hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly later in the inning to give the Mets the, 5-4, lead.
Norfolk was able to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth. With a runner on third and two outs, Cadyn Grenier laced a 2-1 pitch to right, tying the game at five.
Neither team scored through the ninth inning. Cameron Bishop tosed 3.2 scoreless innings in relief, along with scoreless inning by Morgan McSweeney in the eighth, and Cole Uvila in the ninth.
The Mets exploded for eight runs in the 10th, however, giving the Tides a slim chance at a comeback. Norfolk did score when Patrick Dorrian knocked in a run with a double. Two more runs scored when Dylan Harris had an RBI groundout, followed by another run scored on an error. That would be it though, as the Tides lost, 13-8, in 10 innings.
The series finale tomorrow will feature RHP Blaine Knight (1-2, 6.98) starting for the Tides, while RHP Thomas Szapucki (1-4, 3.60) will make the start for Syracuse. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.
