Bowie continued to stumble towards the finish line, losing again Tuesday night as Altoona handed the Baysox a 4-2 defeat.

The Baysox fell to 72-63 but held on to its half-game lead over Richmond for the final playoff spot because the Flying Squirrels (72-64) also lost. 

Altoona chipped away at Bowie starter Mike Ballard (7-3) and eventually took a 4-0 lead. The Baysox tried to rally in the ninth, scoring twice but it wasn't enough.
