"[We are] just right on the edge," Bisons' manager Bobby Meacham said. "Hopefully we can keep pulling out the close ones and today we just didn't get it done."
The Bisons had to battle back from behind twice in the game.
Urshela has been a great addition to the Bisons' lineup and finished the game going 3-5 at the dish.
Urena hit the then go-ahead, RBI-double in the fifth to give the Bisons the lead for the first time in the game. He extended his hit streak to 10 games after a multi-hit game.
"Everything he's done has been really good," Meacham said about the young infielder. "Last week his early work, his extra work before games… [He's] stretching singles into double, making plays [and] really doing some good things at the plate."
After the Tides seized a one-run lead in the eighth, the Bisons responded quickly. Tellez crushed an opposite-field blast to tie the game at four runs apiece which ultimately pushed the game into extras.
The Herd continues its homestand Thursday night with the first game of a four-game series against the Durham Bulls. First pitch set for 7:05 p.m.
