Baysox Fall to Richmond Monday Night

Richmond jumps ahead early and holds on for 4-2 victory over Bowie in the first of the three-game series.

The Baysox struggled again on offense Monday night as Richmond jumped ahead early and pulled out a 4-2 victory in an Eastern League game.

The Flying Squirrels scored three runs in the first two innings and, even though they didn't get on the board again after the fourth, that was enough to beat Bowie (1-3) in the opener of a three-game series.

Bowie got a solo homer from Brandon Waring in the second and an RBI single from Jeff Fiorentino in the third. But the Baysox never scored again.
