Norfolk’s Jackson Holliday led off the game with a double and scored on Billy Cook’s infield hit, and Nick Maton added a first-inning RBI single. Hudson Haskin hit an RBI groundout, and Blake Hunt blasted a solo home run in the sixth.
Holliday extended his career-high hitting streak to 10 games, while Cook, Maton and Hunt each finished with two hits.
