NORFOLK, Va. - A bunt single by Delino DeShields Jr. in the third inning proved to be Gwinnett's only hit of the game as the Stripers (36-40) were shut out 2-0 by the Norfolk Tides (37-39) on Friday night at Harbor Park. Tides' pitchers DL Hall and Chris Vallimont combined on the one-hitter.

*Decisive Plays: *Norfolk scored the decisive run in the first two at-bats against Kyle Muller in the first inning. Terrin Vavra was grazed in the helmet by a pitch and scored on a double by Jordan Westburg. The Tides extended the lead to 2-0 in the fourth as Kelvin Gutierrez launched a solo home run (4) to left-center off Muller.
