After a slow start during Saturday's rainy game, two Baysox home runs in the eighth inning were not enough to bring the team to victory against Erie.
Erie scored three runs in a big second inning, and the Baysox were not able to pull ahead.
Manager Gary Kendall said the team was not getting enough hits early in the game, but he did see some strong playing in later innings and is feeling positive about the future.
“We showed some life at the end of the game,” said Kendall in a statement. “You hate to lose a ballgame, but I liked that we showed some character; we just let an inning get away from us early in the ballgame.”
Second baseman Jonathan Schoop hit double to right field in the third inning. Center fielder L.J. Hoes singled to center field, bringing Schoop home to make the score 3-1.
Back-to-back home runs by third baseman Brandon Waring and first baseman Tyler Townsand were not enough to pull the Baysox into the lead.
With Saturday's loss, the Baysox fell 6-11 on the season. Sunday's match-up with Erie was postponed due to rain.
The Baysox will take on Akron at home in a three-game series, beginning tonight at 7:05 p.m.
