Chesapeake Baysox News Release
Binghamton, NY - Bowie again got a great start from RHP Mike Baumann but the Baysox could not get their bats going. Binghamton broke a tie with a run in the eighth and the Baysox fell by a final of 2-1 Saturday night.
Baumann worked out of trouble in the third. With runners at the corners and no outs, Jason Krizan hit a soft groundball to first base. Preston Palmeiro charged it adeptly and fired out the runner at the plate helping Baumann get out of the inning unscathed.
The Baysox grabbed the lead soon after. In the fourth inning, Jessie Valentin and Rylan Bannon doubled consecutively with two outs in the inning. Valentin came around to score on the Bannon gapper to put Bowie up 1-0.
But that was all the Baysox could muster. Binghamton tied the game off of Baumann with two doubles in the sixth. In the eighth inning Jacob Zanon hit a hard grounball to deep short. A lunging Jessie Valentin had it jump up and off his glove arm caroming towards the line. Zannon legged out a double. He would get third on a Sam Haggerty bunt single and score on a sac fly to center from Jason Krizan.
The Baysox have scored just three runs in the first three games of the series. After starting July with a 17-4 record they have dropped all three so far in Binghamton.
