MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds swept a doubleheader against the Norfolk Tides (Triple-A, Baltimore Orioles) on Friday night at Harbor Park.

Memphis got off to a roaring start in game one’s 10-1 victory. The Redbirds offense struck for nine runs in the first inning, the most in any inning this season. Catcher Jimmy Crooks led the offense with a 2-for-4 day, a double and two RBIs. In total, six Memphis batters drove in a run, eight tallied a hit and scored a run.

Starting pitcher Gordon Graceffo (1-2) tossed 6.0 innings of one-run, two-hit baseball to earn his first win of the season. The right-handed pitcher walked one and struck out one. Ryan Loutos tossed a scoreless seventh to close out the win.

Shortstop Jose Barrero continued his hot streak with a game-winning three-run home run in the top of the third inning, his third of the season. Third baseman Cesar Prieto finished the night 2-for-3 with a walk.

Starting pitcher Ian Bedell allowed four runs on five hits, walked three and struck out two in 4.0 innings pitched. Oddanier Mosqueda (2-1) allowed one run on two hits in 2.0 innings out of the bullpen. Chris Roycroft (S, 1) worked a scoreless seventh to confirm the sweep.

The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park on Tuesday, April 29 to begin a six-game series at AutoZone Park against the Louisville Bats (Triple-A, Cincinnati Reds) with first pitch scheduled for 6:45 p.m. CDT.
