Chesapeake Baysox News Release


(Bowie, MD) - Bowie's Sunday game vs. Akron was suspended in the top of the third inning due to rain. The game will resume as a part of a double-header on Friday, May 2nd starting at 6:05 pm. The regularly scheduled game will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. In accordance with Minor League Baseball rules, the second game will be 7 innings.

The Aero's led 5-1 when the game was postponed after scoring five runs in the top of the second. Michael Aubrey doubled to lead off the inning, and moved to third on a passed ball. Chris Gimenez reached on an infield single to short, scoring Aubrey. After a balk by Chorey Spoone moved Giminez to second, Nathan Panther drew a walk. Brandon Pinckney tried to execute a sacrifice bunt toward third, and Chorye Spoone fielded the ball and attempted to throw out the lead runner. If the throw had been on target, the runner would have been out, but Spoone threw wildly past Greg Nettles and Giminez scored on the play. Now with runners on second and third with nobody out, Ryan Goleski hit a triple to center field, scoring Panther and Pinckney. Goleski scored on a Chris de la Cruz single down the left field line.
