On Friday night in Bowie, the Senators completed the three-game sweep of Bowie with a 3-2 win. Zach Walters provided the difference with a long three-run home run to center field in the fourth inning accounting for the only runs on the night for Harrisburg. Ryan Tatusko started and went five innings picking up his second win on the season allowing just one run.

Bowie took a 1-0 lead in the second before falling behind 3-1 on the Walters home run. Pat McCoy pitched 1.2 innings allowing an unearned run but keeping Bowie at bay, turning things over to Cory VanAllen in the seventh with a runner on base but VanAllen finished the inning with a strikeout.

Nelo pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, the first 1-2-3- inning on the night for Harrisburg to earn his 11th save on the season.
