Norfolk Tides to play in Triple-A Final Stretch

Contributors

Norfolk TidesThe Norfolk Tides announced Wednesday that 10 more games will be added to their schedule by participating in the Triple-A Final Stretch.

The 10 rescheduled games will constitute a postseason tournament with all 30 clubs as participants. For each the Triple-A East and Triple-A West, a 2021 regular season champion will be named based on the best regular season winning percentage through the originally scheduled championship season (concluding Sept. 19 and 21, respectively).

Major League Baseball will then also crown a single 2021 Triple-A Final Stretch Winner based on the best postseason winning percentage during these final two weeks.

To recognize the Triple-A Final Stretch winner, the players and on-field personnel of the winning club will be awarded a prize from Major League Baseball.

After finishing a homestand against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Sept. 19, the Tides will have their regular Monday off day and will travel to Charlotte to play the Knights in four straight night games from Sept. 21 to 24, each starting at 7:04 p.m.

They will have an off day on Saturday before playing their final road game of the season against Charlotte on Sept. 26 with first pitch at 4:45 p.m.
