Norfolk Tides starter José Calderón pitched a strong game against the Gwinnett Firebirds at Coolray Field, leading the Tides to victory, 5-3. Calderón, now 8-9, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Norfolk has run its win streak to 6 straight.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Wilbert Austin? The Norfolk left fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Tides on top, 4-2. For the game, Austin had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"José was hitting his spots and everything had life," said Norfolk manager Charlie Poe.
