NORFOLK, VA - Bulls second baseman Jonathan Aranda knocked a two-run double and first baseman Kyle Manzardo recorded his 15th RBI of the season, however Tides right fielder Ryan O'Hearn drove in two runs and left fielder Connor Norby homered in Norfolk's 5-4 win over Durham on Sunday at Harbor Park.

The Tides got their first score in the first off O'Hearn's single before his double in the seventh would spark Norfolk's comeback. Norby's two-run homer tied the game at 4-4, and 2B Terrin Vavra's single in the 10th solidified the win.
