Top prospect Jackson Holliday homered twice to lift Triple-A Norfolk to a 12-11 win over Nashville on Friday in Harbor Park.

Holliday (.278/.446/.498, 10 HRs, 35 RBIs at Norfolk in 2024) led off the bottom of the first with a homer, and went deep again in his next at bat, in the second inning, that one a three-run shot.

Hudson Haskin, a 2020 second-round pick out of Tulane, ranked the #24 prospect in the Baltimore Orioles system, was 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and two RBIs on the night.

Local product Colin Selby notched the save in his Harbor Park debut. Selby, an alumnus of Western Branch High School and Randolph Macon College, allowed an RBI single to Tyler Black in the ninth, but struck out two in closing out the win.
