Gwinnett Stripers News Release

NORFOLK, Va. - The Gwinnett Stripers (21-22) endured both Norfolk's offensive onslaught and steady rain drops in a 10-1 loss to the Tides (21-22) on Tuesday night at Harbor Park. The game was called due to rain after a 36-minute delay in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Decisive Plays: Norfolk took a 3-0 lead in the second inning as D.J. Stewart launched a three-run home run (1) to right-center off Bryce Elder (L, 1-1). The Tides broke it open with a seven-run fifth, highlighted by a bases-clearing three-run double from Rylan Bannon and a two-run homer from Kyle Stowers (10) off Brad Brach. Phil Gosselin's solo home run (5) in the sixth inning off Denyi Reyes helped the Stripers avoid a shutout.

Key Contributors: Gosselin went 2-for-3 with the homer and one RBI for the Stripers. Stewart and Bannon each notched three RBIs for the Tides. Rehabbing Baltimore Orioles' right-hander Dean Kremer struck out six over 3.0 hitless innings for Norfolk.

Noteworthy: Gosselin is batting .333 (19-for-57) with four doubles, one triple, four homers, nine runs, seven RBIs, and a 1.005 OPS in May. The Stripers have lost their last four games at Harbor Park and are 1-6 at the home of the Tides since the start of 2021.
