Bowie Baysox News Release
Richmond, VA - An early two-run lead did not stand as Richmond rallied for four runs in the third inning to best the Baysox 5-2 on Sunday afternoon.
The Baysox were left wanting more out of the first two innings. The got three consecutive singles to open the game - the last of which from RF Quincy Latimore driving home the game's first run. But Bowie could not extend the rally further.
In the second inning, DH Chris O'Brien worked a six-pitch walk and 2B Garabez Rosa followed with a fly ball double near the wall in left-center field. With runners at second and third bases, 3B Sharlon Schoop grounded out weakly, driving home O'Brien and moving Rosa to third. He would stay there though as a popout and strikeout ended the inning.
Bowie starter Parker Bridwell was efficient through two scoreless innings throwing just 14 pitches. In the third the Flying Squirrels got the big inning. Richmond 2B Blake Miller doubled and LF Daniel Carbonell hit a jam-shot single to center. Later in the inning with one down, SS Kelby Tomlinson doubled on a ground ball down the left field line scoring Miller.
Richmond tied the game on a groundout from RF Devin Harris and DH Mac Williamson put them ahead with an RBI-single to right field. He would then steal second and get third base on a throwing error. Williamson scored on a wild pitch to finish the Flying Squirrels rally.
The Baysox threatened late in the game but could not break through leaving seven men on base in the game's final four innings.
