| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, May 19th, 2010: Romak Socks It to Tides, Cracks 5 Hits
Next time the Tides might think twice about pitching to Jamie Romak. Today at Clippers Ballpark the Columbus third baseman really burned Norfolk pitching, going 5-for-6 in the Clippers 16-3 triumph.
"When he's seeing the ball well," his skipper told reporters, "he can probably stroke a base hit blindfolded."
This season Romak has hit at a .396 clip with 15 RBIs, 4 home runs and 9 runs scored. He has played in 30 games.

 | Tuesday, April 27th, 2010: Cota Torches Tides for 5 Hits
Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at Lynx Ballpark when Humberto Cota of Ottawa scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Norfolk Tides.
He walloped 5 hits in 5 at-bats in his career-day performance to help the Lynx get by the Tides 5-1.
In a talkative and jovial mood after the game, the catcher of the Lynx exclaimed, "Whoa, my swing was really, really there today. I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens...good things happen...like 5-5. I could get used to a lot of days like this one."
H. Cota singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off M. Minor in the 9th.
Cota is currently hitting at a .329 pace with 5 home runs, 16 RBIs and has scored 11 times.

 | Wednesday, April 21st, 2010: Norfolk Wins, Shuts Out Red Wings
"He's got a bunch of different arm angles and his ball was really moving," said the Rochester manager after watching Mike Minor of the Norfolk Tides humiliate his club 8-0 in a fine 4-hit shutout.
"If I make good pitches, I'm going to get some outs," Minor said after he befuddled the Red Wings. "I was making good pitches the entire game."
He whiffed 8 and walked 3 in the complete game effort.
This year Minor has fanned 33 in 34 innings and collected a 2-2 record with a 4.24 ERA.
