Yeah… This one hurt…
Watching this game, you really thought the Tides were a lock to get it done. A couple of career days, and a whole lot of runs made this one so promising.
I mean come on, just look at this stat-line from starting pitcher, Grayson Rodriguez:
- 6 IP
- 3 Hits
- 0 Runs
- 0 Walks
- 12 (Yes, TWELVE) Strikeouts (Ties career high)
The offense was hot too. It’s pretty uncommon for a team to score five runs and not win the game, but the Durham Bulls stamped six runs on the board. The way the Bulls won the game was through a three run double with the bases loaded.
Heartbreaker for the Tides. They’ll stay in Durham for a few more days. Next game is Wednesday, July 5. First pitch at 6:35 p.m.
