Tides Roll Past IronPigs, 6-2
Norfolk catcher Dylan Battle had a 3-RBI game, which proved instrumental to his team beating the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 6-2. Battle picked up 2 singles and 2 doubles in the ballgame. Dan Thompson earned the win to go to 2-1. He allowed 1 run on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. The IronPigs fall to 9-12 and continue their uneven start to the 2026 season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Pete Griffin? The Norfolk designated hitter had a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fourth inning to put the Tides on top, 3-1. For the game, Griffin had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Norfolk manager Charlie Poe commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
