New Britain, CT - Bowie's Ryan Adams had three hits and scored three runs - including the go-ahead run - to lead the Baysox to a 4-3 victory over the Rock Cats before a lively sellout crowd of 7,118 at New Britain Stadium.

Steve Singleton started things off with a double and Evan Bigley followed with a double to right field that scored Singleton for the first run of the game. Mark Dolenc the delivered a base hit into center that knocked in Bigley for the 2-0 lead. Dolenc swiped second before Tobias Streich struck out to end the inning.

Bowie cut the lead in half when Adams doubled and scored on a single by Tyler Henson.

The Rock Cats added on a run in the fifth when Dolenc led off with a double, moved to third on Streich's sacrifice bunt, and scored on a base hit by Estarlin De Los Santos. The Baysox answered back in the next inning, though, with two runs to tie the game. Adams led off the sixth with a single to center, moved to second on a ground out and to third on a Tyler Robertson wild pitch. Robertson then struck out Joseph Mahoney but was charged with a wild pitch that allowed Adams to score. Brandon Waring added an RBI to even the score, 3-3.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Rock Cats sent team saves leader Billy Bullock to the mound. Adams greeted Bullock with a single to third base and advanced to second on Juan Portes' throwing error. Bullock retired the next two batters before forcing Mahoney to slice a grounder to short but De Los Santos couldn't handle the ball and his error led to Adams crossing the plate for the go-ahead run.

Robertson allowed three runs on six hits in seven innings. He struck out five. Bullock (1-4) walked three in just 1 2/3 innings. The lone run he allowed was unearned but proved to be the game-winner for Bowie.
