The Bulls made a dog’s breakfast of a manageable 4-3, deficit last night, helping the Charlotte Knights send 12 batters to the […]

Norfolk Tides rally again, top Durham Bulls again: The Breaks
DBAP/ DURHAM—The Durham Bulls got a lot of breaks last night and lost anyway to Norfolk, 4-3. The Tides made an especially bad S.B.G. that cost them a run; misplayed what should probably have been out into a double; botched a sacrifice (for the second straight night); scored a run for Durham with a throwing […]

Norfolk Tides rally, beat Durham Bulls in 13 innings: Tremors
DBAP/ DURHAM—Did you feel the earthquake? At a little before 2:00 p.m. yesterday, everything began to shake, or more precisely to roll. Somehow, it seemed obvious that we were having an earthquake, even though I had never previously experienced one. The uncertainty actually arose afterward: What would happen next? Would another temblor strike? Would there […]

Norfolk Tides edge Durham Bulls: Road Trip!
www.zooperstars.comA “Zooperstar.” HARBOR PARK/ NORFOLK—Yes, the dateline is correct. I’ve just caught up with the Durham Bulls at the tail end of what will have been a 10-game road trip to Buffalo, N.Y., Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Penna., and now Norfolk, Va. So far, it all feels pretty weird. The Bulls charged into town last night—actually, at around […]
