Bowie now has a 73-66 record with Richmond ahead at 75-65. The Flying Squirrels have gone 6-4 while the Baysox have slid downhill and all but blown a playoff bid.
The Bowie offense continued its recent struggles. They managed just three hits, went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base. That was the big reason they lost.
