In contrast, the Norfolk Tides and Delmarva Shorebirds face challenging conclusions to their schedules. Norfolk recently finished a 4-2 series against the Durham Bulls, featuring an 11-strikeout performance from Cade Povich before his promotion to the major leagues. Meanwhile, the Chesapeake Baysox posted a 4-2 record against the Harrisburg Senators, with infielder Aron Estrada and first baseman Victor Figueroa contributing offensive production.
