The Orioles minor league system turned in a mostly positive day on July 25, with every affiliate picking up at least one win. Norfolk also took a loss, leaving the Tides with a split result on the schedule, but the headline performance came from the Baysox, where Dzierwa helped lead a winning effort.
The Baysox victory appeared to be built around pitching, with Dzierwa playing a key role in keeping the opposition in check. In a recap centered on run prevention more than offensive fireworks, the Baysox came away with one of the organization's standout results of the night.
Norfolk was involved in one of the tightest games on the farm. The Tides and the Knights managed only three hits each, and all three runs in that game came on solo home runs. Cade Povich got the start for Norfolk and allowed very little in the way of hits, but in such a low-offense matchup, a single swing made a major difference.
Taken together, the Orioles' farm results pointed to a night shaped by pitching and narrow margins. The Baysox got the win behind Dzierwa's contribution, and the Tides' split day underscored how little separated teams when offense was hard to find.
