Covering the Bases with the Baysox

Baysox Notebook: Bowie Getting Hot After Slow Start

Bowie has won four of its last five games after starting just 1-4.

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.

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. Tim Bascom (0-1) gave up four runs on nine hits in five innings. But Wynn Pelzer came on in relief for Bowie and threw three perfect innings. The two teams meet again Tuesday night in Richmond.
