JARRETT
Zach Jarrett went hitless, striking out three times in four at-bats, but Norfolk (Va.) nipped division-leading Durham 3-1 on Tuesday night in Durham.
Jarrett, a baseball star at Hickory High and in college at Charlotte, batted ninth in the Tides’ order in the win.
He is batting .235 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs as Norfolk continues the series at Durham through Sunday.
Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey did not pitch on Tuesday night. He is in Norfolk on a rehab assignment and it’s unclear if the Baltimore Orioles will return him to the big leagues this season. That decision should come within the next 10 days.
The Tides are 44-64 and in sixth place in the Triple-A East Southeast Division, 24 games back of Durham.
