Morel Powers Mets Past Struggling Tides | Virginia Beach News

Christopher Morel obliterated the Tides with a five-RBI night, smashing a homer and double as Syracuse cruised to a 9-3 win in the opener of a doubleheader — the first game of which was rained out. The Mets’ offense exploded for five runs in the fourth, turning a close game into a rout. Norfolk’s Cade Povich couldn’t contain the damage early, and things got ugly when both third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand and manager Tim Federowicz were ejected in the third. Despite a shaky start, Syracuse’s bullpen shut the door. The Tides, now 2-10 in the second half, look desperate — and tonight’s game, dubbed “Soccer Night,” might be their last chance to turn things around.
