'Sox Stymie Sea Dogs in 7-0 Shutout
June 13, 2012 - Eastern League (EL1)
Portland Sea Dogs News Release
BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox (29-34) notched runs in two innings and held the Portland Sea Dogs (27-37) scoreless in the 7-0 win Wednesday night at Prince George's Stadium. The win marks the third in a row for the Baysox over the Sea Dogs.
Portland starter Anthony Ranaudo retired the first six hitters he faced in the game before he faltered in the third. Bowie's Brian Ward hit an infield single to short to get the wheels turning for the offense. Travis Adair followed Ward and reached on a sacrifice bunt and throwing error by Reynaldo Rodriguez.
Ranuado (1-2) retired Steven Bumbry on a pop out to the second baseman, but could not find it out of the stretch afterward as he walked the next three hitters, and brought in the first two runs. Robbie Widlansky and Manny Machado capped off the four-run third with an RBI sacrifice fly and RBI single respectively.
Baysox starter Zach Clark stymied the Sea Dogs in his second straight start against Portland. The righty delivered seven shutout innings, but was not overly dominant, as he did not have a perfect inning until the seventh. Clark (4-4) allowed just two hits and four walks to the 'Dogs, while he struck out seven.
Ranaudo lasted only three innings and allowed four runs, one earned on two hits, he walked three and struck out two. Lefty Will Latimer was the first out of the bullpen and held the Baysox scoreless over the next three frames.
Bowie upped its lead to 7-0 on three more runs in the bottom of the seventh. Aaron Kurcz took the brunt of the damage out of the bullpen for the Sea Dogs. Kurcz allowed the first three to reach on two walks and a single, before retiring the next two hitters. Widlansky made the righty pay with a bases-clearing double to right field.
