Vail Excels in 9-5 Norfolk Win
Led by Preston Vail, the Norfolk Tides downed the Charlotte Knights, 9-5. Vail went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 times for the Tides. Brian Groeschen got the win, improving to 9-1. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 10 and walking 4. Ricardo Baeza earned the save, his 9th, for the Tides.

Norfolk took advantage of an error in the top of the seventh inning. The game was tied, 4-4, when Danny Martinez hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Tides in front, 5-4.

"At the end of the day, wins and losses are really the only thing that matters," said Martinez.

The Knights, now 56-56, have lost 4 in a row.
