The Harrisburg Senators dropped their sixth straight game on Wednesday night, falling 7-1 at the hands of the visiting Bowie Baysox. The game was played in front of 2215 fans at Metro Bank Park.

Bowie (15-12) cranked out fourteen hits a day after collecting sixteen in its 9-0 win on Tuesday. Caleb Joseph and Ryan Adams led the way, as Joseph notched three hits and three RBI, while Adams recorded four hits and scored three times. Joseph hit a two-run home run, the only homer of the game.
