The Tides were swinging the bats like it was early April all over again, pounding out a dozen runs on a whopping 19 hits. Five of those hits belonged to shortstop Nick Maton, who returned from the injured list this week. He doubled twice, singled thrice, and drove in three. Billy Cook also had himself a fine day, tallying two doubles and a triple while collecting four RBIs. The only Tides batter not to collect a hit was Kyle Stowers, who took an 0-for-5.
Among the high-profile O’s prospects, Coby Mayo went 3-for-5 and crushed his 12th home run.
