Norfolk Defeated by Buffalo, 3-2
Starting pitcher Pedro Fernandez gave the Buffalo Bisons a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the Norfolk Tides, 3-2, at Harbor Park. The defeat makes Norfolk 5-8.

Buffalo used a clutch at-bat from Jeff Neal to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bisons ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Buffalo manager Mark Budzinski.
