The Durham Bulls cut down the Norfolk Tides by the score of 4-0, with the largest share of the credit going to designated hitter Joey Bowen. Bowen went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Bulls. Ben Lake, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with no runs on 6 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 7. His record now stands at 8-5. The South Division-leading Bulls are 50-37.

Early in the game, Bowen had a 3-run home run for Durham. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Bulls on top, 3-0.

"I like what I saw today," said Durham manager R.A. Dickey, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
