Baysox Rally For Nightcap Win Over Trenton

Brandon Waring's two-run single in the fifth inning gave Bowie the lead, and the Baysox hung on for a 5-4 victory over Trenton to earn a split of their doubleheader Saturday night.

Waring finished the night with three RBI, but that two-run single helped Bowie bounce back from an early 3-0 deficit after it dropped the opener, 3-2. His single came in the fifth, and Bowie held on for the final two innings—there's just seven in minor-league doubleheaders—to win.

The victory moved Bowie (69-57) to within one game of Harrisburg for the Western Division lead. In addition, the Baysox have a 1 1/2-game lead over Richmond for the division's final playoff spot.

Raul Rivero (4-2) earned the win in relief. Rivero, Pedro Viola and Jose Diaz combined for 4 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Diaz earned his 20th save, escaping from a big jam in the seventh.

Bowie took a 2-0 lead in the first game with a three-hit third inning, but Trenton scored three in the bottom half of the inning off Mike Ballard (7-2).

He went the distance but Bowie didn't get another base runner after the third, finished with just three hits and lost.
