Tides Beaten by Mud Hens, 10-2
Toledo and Norfolk took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Toledo Mud Hens pinned a convincing loss on the Norfolk Tides, 10-2, at Fifth Third Field. Kurt Newton was a main factor in the win. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Toledo. Spike Kimball, the winner, is now 9-3. He struck out 5 and walked 0 over 7.1 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 6 hits.

Héctor Orozco had a big 2-run double for the Mud Hens in the bottom of the first inning. With Toledo leading 4-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a changeup from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Al Rucker and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mud Hens ahead, 6-1.

Norfolk manager Charlie Poe called the blowout loss "a real stinker."

The Mud Hens have an impressive 46-20 record.
