NORFOLK, Va - The Norfolk Tides (1-2) defeated the Durham Bulls (2-1), 8-2, on Sunday at Harbor Park. It was a close matchup into the eighth inning, when Norfolk put up six runs to sink a dagger in their first victory of the season.
Both teams would score two runs in the third inning, with Durham's scoring as unearned runs. In the bottom-half, Coby Mayo would launch a two-run homer, his first hit of the season, to tie the game at 2-2.
