Durham Gets 4-3 Win Versus Norfolk in 10
The Durham Bulls snuck past the Norfolk Tides, 4-3, in 10 innings. Durham pitcher Jake Alvarado, in particular, had a standout performance. Ken Brusky, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-3. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. Durham raised its record to 44-43 with the win.

Up to bat in the bottom of the tenth, 29-year old catcher Chris Ballance had a chance to be the hero. Norfolk pitcher Joey Averitt wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Ballance hit a sacrifice fly. The Bulls had themselves a thrilling win.

"Jake did a good job keeping the game under control," said Durham manager ArnĂ¡o Dique.
