Pirates Handle Tide 11-1

The bats started to heat up in the bottom of the third as the Pirates scratched three more runs to take a 4-0 lead. Jeremy Ammons found a pitch to his liking and delivered a two-run homerun over the left field fence for his third homerun of the year.
Starting pitcher Josh Barber allowed the only Blue Tide run of the night in the top of the fourth inning. He got into a little trouble after quickly striking out the first two batters of the inning. A single, a walk and two batters being hit by pitches forced a run home. Barber settled down and got a ground out to end the threat.
