NORFOLK, Virginia - Rowdy Tellez homered and drove in three runs, and Jair Camargo, Ben Gamel, and Brett Wisely each had two RBIs as the Gwinnett Stripers (24-14) defeated the Norfolk Tides (14-24) 11-3 on Saturday night at Harbor Park. Gwinnett has clinched the series, up 4-1 with one game remaining.

Decisive Plays: The Stripers scored six runs off Trace Bright (L, 0-2) in the top of the second inning to take a 6-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish. A solo home run by Tellez (8), RBI singles by Camargo and Wisely, sacrifice fly by Gamel, and another RBI single by Tellez highlighted the frame. In the fourth, an RBI double by Wisely and RBI fielder's choice by Nacho Alvarez Jr. stretched the advantage to 8-0. Gamel and Camargo added sacrifice flies in the fifth and seventh, and Tellez laced an RBI double in the eighth. The Tides got a pair of solo homers from Creed Willems (7) and Jud Fabian (7) with the game already out of reach.
