ERIE, PA - The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, fell 6-1 to the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, on Tuesday night at UPMC Park.
Chesapeake (29-33) was limited to four hits at the plate on Tuesday. Two hits came from Max Wagner, while Enrique Bradfield Jr legged out a double to shallow right field in the sixth.
