The SeaWolves jumped ahead in the bottom of the first inning against Bowie starter Marcos Molina. Isaac Paredes doubled with one out and scored on a Daniel Pinero base hit for a 1-0 lead.

It was Cervenka's second home run of the season and both have come against Erie. The Baysox then loaded the bases on singles from Palmeiro and McCoy and a walk by Ryan McKenna. Hays singled home Palmeiro for a 3-1 Bowie lead.

Baysox reliever Zach Muckenhirn came into the game in the eighth and walked the leadoff man Chace Numata. Muckenhirn would go on to retire the next six batters he faced and picked up his first save of the season.

Molina (3-4) earned the win Bowie allowing a run on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts in seven innings.

Ecker (1-4) took the loss for Erie allowing two runs on four hits with a walk and two strikeouts in one inning of work.
