Durham Beats Norfolk, 8-5
Conditions were not ideal but Durham and Norfolk were able to put their game in the books.

Despite a fine performance by center fielder Ruben Nolasco, the Norfolk Tides lost to the Durham Bulls, 8-5. Nolasco was 3 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the save was Kevin Albert, his 2nd.

Chris Ballance drew 1 walk for Durham. The 29-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Carlos Lucero. It was his 20th walk of the season.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Durham skipper ArnĂ¡o Dique.

The second-place Bulls are now 37-37, the Tides 36-38.
